About Ann

Ann Adams is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida who helps people facing stress, anxiety, parenting struggles, relationship strain, mood changes, and midlife transitions. She also supports those dealing with addictions, career challenges, and compassion fatigue. Her tone is warm and direct, and she encourages clients to identify at least one goal early in care.

Ann draws on a person-centered foundation that treats people with respect and dignity. She blends cognitive-behavioral ideas with mindfulness and solution-focused steps to help clients notice what is working and build on it. Sessions include feedback and practical tasks rather than only talk.

She often brings coaching-style questions into therapy to help people set priorities and take clear steps toward change. Clients are invited to try small experiments between sessions and to reflect on what shifts when they act differently. Ann aims for measurable progress within weeks for people who stay committed to the process.

Her style is sensitive and encouraging while also offering honest observations. She believes most people already hold answers and benefit from a guide who points out options and obstacles. Ann works in English and holds licenses as an LMHC in Florida and Rhode Island.

To begin, she asks clients to pick a goal and stay focused while practicing new skills. She frames therapy as a collaborative effort that combines listening with active problem solving and steps people can use in daily life.

Approaches you can expect and how online work can fit

Ann uses a client-centered approach that focuses on respect, listening, and helping people find their own solutions. This style emphasizes empathy and helping clients identify what matters most to them.

She also uses cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thinking and test small behavior changes. CBT-style steps are useful for anxiety, mood shifts, and practical problems like sleep or routines.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to select methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences rather than imposing one fixed method. Clients and the therapist revisit the plan as progress is tracked.

The original biography does not list which online session formats are offered, so confirm the available session types before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten commute time, and allow for different kinds of check-ins when a full in-person appointment is harder to schedule. It can also support continuity when life events make travel difficult. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, mindfulness practices, and homework for remote sessions so the work remains practical and goal focused.
