Anne Combs, LPCC

Anne Combs is an Ohio LPCC with 40 years in behavioral health. She has worked as a clinician, clinical supervisor, and administrator, and now focuses more on direct work with people. She commonly helps with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, parenting and family concerns, relationship strain, career problems, and addiction-related issues.

She keeps sessions practical and focused on the present. She acknowledges past trauma and its effects but emphasizes steps people can take now to manage those effects. Her approach is straightforward and solution-oriented, with attention to communication skills and everyday coping strategies.

Her long career includes work with a wide range of challenges, from career transitions to serious mental illness. That experience informs how she talks about roles, expectations, and workplace functioning. She also draws on executive coaching methods when clients seek help with professional performance or problem solving.

In session she uses techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy, and incorporates Client-Centered and Mindfulness ideas as appropriate. Sessions tend to focus on changing unhelpful thinking and behavior, setting concrete goals, and practicing small communication shifts that ease daily strain.

People who prefer a direct, occasionally humorous style may find her easy to work with. She values clear communication and small, achievable changes. To begin, readers should confirm current session formats and scheduling options before booking.
