Ann Keith, LCSW - Therapist in New Mexico

About Ann

Ann Keith is a licensed clinical social worker with 14 years of practice. She uses practical, person-focused therapy to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship struggles. Ann speaks plain language in sessions and aims to make steps feel manageable for a worried parent reading on their phone.

Her work often centers on emotional regulation and communication. She combines tools from cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and attachment-informed approaches.

Background and approach

This helps people notice unhelpful patterns, try small behavior changes, and build clearer ways to express needs. Ann draws on experience with complex life transitions, caregiving stress, addiction concerns, trauma and abuse, and end-of-life issues. She also addresses problems like low self-esteem, anger, and isolation.

Her practice includes attention to family-related patterns and how those affect current relationships. Sessions are collaborative and paced to the person in front of her. Ann listens first, then offers practical strategies and exercises to practice between meetings.

She explains therapeutic tools simply so people can use them at home. Ann holds a licensed clinical social worker credential - LCSW - and maintains licenses in Texas and New Mexico. She works in New Mexico and conducts sessions in English.

International clients may be seen through online formats when appropriate.

Approaches that translate to online support

The therapist uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test small changes in behavior. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and problems with routine or motivation.

She also draws on acceptance and commitment therapy, which focuses on identifying values and taking small steps toward them while accepting hard feelings. ACT can be helpful for stress, life transitions, and ongoing emotional pain.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist discusses goals and preferences and adapts methods to fit what the person needs. That collaboration helps shape which techniques are used in sessions.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, continue work during life changes, and maintain contact between appointments. Licensed professionals can use these formats to practice the same core methods they would in person, while tailoring tools and homework to the online setting.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

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.
