About Ann

Ann Marie Harty is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida who helps adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, compassion fatigue, and challenges tied to life changes.

Background and approach

With a decade of clinical experience, she offers a supportive space for clients to explore self-esteem, career concerns, and family-related stress while attending to additional issues such as loneliness, multicultural concerns, caregiver stress, and mood-related conditions. Her approach blends practical, evidence-informed methods with an emphasis on personal agency.

Ann Marie uses cognitive behavioral strategies alongside client-centered and emotionally focused techniques to help people identify unhelpful patterns, strengthen coping skills, and work toward meaningful goals. Mindfulness and existential perspectives are woven into her work to encourage present-moment awareness and help clients consider values, purpose, and meaning.

Sessions focus on collaboration and respect for each person’s cultural background and lived experience. Ann Marie’s practice aims to reduce stigma around mental health and support clients as they unlearn limiting patterns, practice self-compassion, and pursue improved well-being.

Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them through practical experiments and skills practice, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and building a trusting therapeutic relationship so clients can explore their priorities and feel heard.

Ann Marie approaches treatment as a collaborative process and will work with each person to determine which methods fit best. She draws on CBT, emotionally-focused practices, and mindfulness tools when appropriate, and adapts techniques to a clients goals, preferences, and pace to find the right balance between insight and skill-building.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or ongoing text-based messaging, allowing people to fit care into busy schedules or connect from different locations. These formats support continuity of care and enable a range of therapeutic activities from conversation and skills coaching to structured CBT exercises and mindfulness practices.
