Ann also supports people coping with trauma, addictions, bipolar mood concerns, and major losses.

Her approach combines mindfulness exercises with acceptance and commitment ideas and cognitive-behavioral techniques. She draws on client-centered and attachment-based methods to help people identify values, set small goals, and build steadier routines. Meetings are collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.

Ann has worked across a variety of settings over her career and uses that experience to offer concrete tools for coping and problem solving. She helps people rebuild emotional resilience, improve communication, and find clearer purpose after loss or big change.

People who choose Ann can expect practical homework, short-term skill work when needed, and longer-term support for complex issues. Her style is warm, direct, and respectful of each person’s history and goals.

How mindfulness and ACT translate to online care

Mindfulness Therapy helps people notice thoughts and physical sensations without getting swept away by them. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and improving focus in daily life. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes clarifying personal values and taking small committed actions toward them, which can help with avoidance, grief, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people understand how early bonds affect current reactions and choices.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick techniques that fit their goals, preferences, and daily routine. That may mean practicing short mindfulness exercises between sessions, trying behavioral experiments, or focusing on communication patterns in relationships.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to attend sessions around work, caregiving, or travel, and it can reduce commute time. Some session types are better for brief check-ins and others for deeper processing, and the therapist can help choose what will work best for each person.
