About Ann

Ann Adams is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, self-esteem struggles, addiction, mood disorders, and life transitions. She also addresses relationship and family issues, career worries, and compassion fatigue.

Sessions are aimed at practical change and clearer day-to-day coping. Ann uses a respectful, down-to-earth style. She listens closely and gives direct feedback.

Early work typically focuses on one attainable goal to guide progress.

Background and approach

Her approach blends client-centered care with cognitive and mindfulness techniques. She brings motivational interviewing and solution-focused tools to help people identify small steps forward. In conversations she helps clients notice where they already have answers and how to try new behaviors.

Ann has three years of experience as an LMHC and holds Florida licensure FL LMHC MH10720. Sessions may feel like a mix of coaching and therapy, with practical suggestions and thought exercises offered between meetings.

People often seek her support when routines feel overwhelmed or when a specific problem - such as parenting strain, addiction history, or a life change - needs a clear plan. She aims for work that feels useful quickly, so clients can try new approaches and see if they fit.

Therapeutic approaches for online support

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on treating the person with respect and understanding. This approach creates a space where people can talk through concerns and feel heard, which helps when making choices about parenting, relationships, or life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect feelings and actions. It uses simple exercises and small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, manage mood symptoms, and address unhelpful patterns.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches short practices to notice thoughts and sensations without jumping to action. These exercises are useful for stress, anxiety, and staying grounded during transitions. Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to pick approaches that match their goals and preferences. Together they try techniques and adjust the plan based on what helps most.

Online sessions can fit busy lives by offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to connect from home, to follow up between meetings, and to use the communication style that feels most comfortable. Flexible options can help people keep momentum while they test new ways of coping and change.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Existential Therapy

Takes the larger questions seriously: meaning, choice, mortality, responsibility. Suited to periods when the difficulty is less a symptom than a sense that something has to change.
