    About Ann

    Ann Marie Harty is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who offers one-on-one therapy for adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and changes in life circumstances. She also helps people dealing with career concerns, compassion fatigue, low self-esteem, and family-related challenges. Her approach aims to make it easier to talk about hard things and find practical steps forward.

    She uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons to change and build momentum. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, and emotionally-focused ideas are woven into sessions to address thoughts, feelings, and relationships. She encourages clients to notice patterns and try small experiments between meetings.

    Ann Marie brings ten years of clinical experience working with adult clients in Florida. She describes her work as creating a trusting space where people can tell their stories and work toward clearer goals. She is especially attentive to multicultural concerns and the impact of prejudice or discrimination on emotional well-being.

    Her background includes supporting caregivers and older adults experiencing neurocognitive challenges, and she addresses issues like isolation, guilt, and life purpose. The therapy process focuses on self-determination so people can make choices that fit their values.

    Sessions are offered in English, and she is open to international clients. To begin, people choose the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule sessions based on therapist availability.

  2. How Motivational and Practical Approaches Work Online

    Motivational Interviewing focuses on helping people find their own reasons to change. It uses open questions and reflective listening to build motivation and small, achievable goals. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the therapist follows the client's lead and supports self-directed growth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns and then tests new ways of thinking or behaving to ease symptoms like anxiety and low mood.

    Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Decisions about which techniques to use are collaborative and may shift as needs change.

    The biography does not specify online session types, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into daily life by removing travel time and making scheduling easier. Phone or lower-bandwidth options can be useful for shorter check-ins or when video is difficult. The therapist aims to tailor session length and focus to what fits a client's routine and goals, helping integrate therapy into busy lives without promising a particular format.
