About Ann
Ann Stromberg is an Ohio-based Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) with 12 years of clinical practice helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and life transitions.
Background and approach
She blends a strength-based perspective with evidence-informed strategies to help clients identify what is working in their lives and where they want change. Her approach emphasizes practical skill-building so clients can navigate challenges long after sessions end.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside solution-focused and mindfulness-informed techniques to address concerns such as self-esteem, parenting challenges, anger, career stress, and compassion fatigue. Ann has worked in clinical, community, and school settings, and draws on that range of experience to offer flexible, goal-oriented support.
She values client feedback and partners with people to tailor interventions, avoiding any strategies that the client doubts will help. Ann aims for efficient progress while maintaining a holistic view of each person's life, exploring patterns across relationships, work, and daily routines to create sustainable change.
Her practice centers on collaboration, respectful listening, and practical tools that promote a more positive and confident outlook.
Practical therapeutic approaches for online care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It provides concrete tools for managing symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress and helps people develop coping skills for everyday challenges.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes values-based action and learning to live with uncomfortable thoughts or feelings without letting them dictate behavior. This approach can assist with life transitions, grief, and finding greater clarity about what matters most.
Finding the right fit is part of the process; the therapist will collaborate with each person to determine which approach or combination best matches their needs, goals, and preferences. Treatment plans are adjusted using client feedback so strategies remain relevant and effective over time.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care around work, family, or other commitments and allow licensed professionals to deliver focused, structured interventions without requiring in-person visits.
