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 adults dealing with stress, anxiety, parenting pressures, self-esteem, mood disorders, addictions, relationship concerns, and life transitions.
Ann uses a direct, goal-oriented style. She starts by listening and then helps clients set at least one clear goal early on. Sessions include feedback and practical steps. She draws on client-centered methods alongside cognitive behavioral and mindfulness techniques.
Her approach is straightforward. She helps people notice patterns in thinking and behavior, then tries small, manageable changes. Motivational interviewing techniques are used when a client is weighing change. Solution-focused ideas guide short-term steps and coaching-style conversations.
Ann has worked with people facing caregiver stress, blended family issues, aging and geriatric concerns, codependency, and midlife transitions. She also has experience related to veterans and armed forces issues, financial stress, and recovery from natural or human-caused disasters.
Sessions move toward practical skills and regular check-ins on progress. Clients who want concrete strategies for everyday life - coping tools, communication skills, or ways to manage mood swings - will find a session structure that emphasizes action and follow-through.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and respect. The therapist follows what the client brings and responds with questions and reflections to help clarify goals and values. This approach helps when someone needs space to sort out feelings about parenting, relationships, or life change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together. It uses straightforward exercises and practice tasks to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns. CBT can be useful for stress, depression, and coping with parenting demands.
Mindfulness Therapy encourages short, practical attention skills to reduce reactivity and build steadier responses. It often involves brief exercises that can be practiced between sessions to help with overwhelm and emotional regulation.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each client about goals, preferences, and what feels useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as progress is tracked.
Confirm the exact online session formats before booking, since this profile does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Many people find this helpful for keeping consistent appointments while juggling parenting, work, and other responsibilities.
