About Ann

Ann Adams is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida who supports people facing stress, anxiety, mood disorders, parenting challenges, relationship concerns, career transitions, addiction-related issues, and coping with life changes.

Background and approach

She combines practical strategies and reflective exploration to help clients build self-esteem, manage depression and bipolar symptoms, and address compassion fatigue or caregiver stress. Her background includes work with blended family dynamics, communication difficulties, codependency, and financial or midlife adjustment problems.

Her style blends client-centered respect with cognitive-behavioral tools and mindfulness-based techniques, often paired with solution-focused and motivational interviewing elements to help clients set and pursue specific goals. Ann encourages collaborative goal-setting early in therapy and offers structured feedback alongside supportive listening to help clients identify actions that produce meaningful change.

With three years of documented experience as an LMHC, she draws on established therapeutic methods to tailor work to each person’s needs and preferences. Sessions are offered in formats that suit different lifestyles, and she communicates in English.

Ann holds licensure in Florida as FL LMHC MH10720 and in Rhode Island as RI LMHC MHC00182, and she does not currently accept international clients.

Integrating practical strategies with reflective care online

Ann uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; this approach is often applied to anxiety, depression, stress, and patterns that interfere with daily functioning. Client-Centered Therapy provides a foundation of respectful, nonjudgmental listening that helps people explore values and goals while feeling heard and understood. Mindfulness Therapy is used to develop present-moment awareness and stress-management skills that support emotion regulation and reduce reactivity.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to assess concerns, preferences, and short-term goals, and then adapts techniques from these approaches to fit the individual’s needs. That collaborative planning helps ensure sessions remain focused and relevant to what the client wants to achieve.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for varied schedules and life demands. These formats make it possible to continue consistent work without traveling, accommodate different levels of comfort with communication, and allow goal-focused interventions to be practiced between sessions.
