About Ann
Ann Adams is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) licensed in Florida and Rhode Island with 3 years of experience. She works with common young adult concerns such as stress, anxiety, career questions, relationship strains, and transitions like leaving home or starting a first job. She also supports people facing depression, bipolar mood issues, addictions, and parenting challenges.
Her style comes from a client-centered base. She listens, gives direct feedback, and sets at least one goal early on. Sessions blend practical thinking about thoughts and behaviors with mindfulness and brief solution-focused steps.
In a session she often helps people identify one clear next step. That might be a small behavioral change, a new way of handling a difficult conversation, or a short exercise to reduce anxiety. She uses motivational interviewing techniques to help people find their own reasons to change and stick with them.
Ann has worked with people who face career uncertainty, money stress, and the feeling of being behind compared with peers. She has experience with caregiver stress, blended family issues, and challenges common in later life, which can inform how she frames practical goals for clients.
Her approach is straightforward and goal-focused. New clients complete a matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session where goals are discussed. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and costs vary with location.
How her approaches work in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and respect. The therapist reflects what the client says and helps clarify goals and values, useful when someone is deciding on work, relationships, or life direction.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and actions to find small changes that ease symptoms like anxiety or low mood. It often uses practical exercises and short homework tasks to test new ways of coping.
Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change. It is useful when motivation feels unclear, such as with addictions, career shifts, or sticking to a new routine.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Ann will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That discussion happens in early sessions and can shift as goals evolve.
The practical benefits of working with a therapist online include fitting sessions into a busy student or work schedule and making it easier to keep regular appointments. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm what formats are offered before booking. Online sessions can support short check-ins, focused skills practice, and weekly goal-setting that fit into everyday life without requiring long travel.
