Ann Marie Harty, LCSW - Therapist in Florida

About Ann

Ann Marie Harty is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who helps adults manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and life changes. She also supports people dealing with compassion fatigue, self-esteem struggles, career concerns, and family-related issues. Her approach aims to make talking about mental health feel more doable and less stigmatized.

She uses straightforward methods in sessions. That includes client-centered work that follows the person’s lead, cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and emotionally-focused approaches to strengthen emotional understanding.

Background and approach

Mindfulness practices are also woven in to help with stress and grounding. In a session she creates space for people to tell their story and set goals. She emphasizes self-determination and practical steps clients can try between meetings.

Sessions are aimed at improving day-to-day functioning and easing emotional distress. Ann Marie has ten years of experience and holds the LCSW credential. She practices in Florida and offers services for people facing issues such as aging and geriatric concerns, caregiver stress, communication problems, immigration-related distress, and mood disorders.

She also addresses multicultural concerns and experiences of prejudice and discrimination. Therapy with her can include brief skills work or longer conversations about meaning and life purpose. She works in English and accepts international clients.

Online formats and flexible communication options are available to fit different needs.

Approaches and online options for practical, guided care

Client-centered therapy puts the person’s priorities first and creates space for them to lead the conversation. It helps when someone needs a supportive place to sort through what matters and set personal goals.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, and everyday stress because it teaches clear steps to try between sessions.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people understand and name strong feelings and how those emotions affect relationships and decisions. It can be useful when emotions feel overwhelming or get in the way of connecting with others.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That might mean trying CBT techniques for a while, then using mindfulness or client-centered conversations to deepen insight.

Online therapy makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. Video calls let people meet face-to-face from home, phone sessions offer a simpler option, and live chat or text messaging work well for ongoing check-ins and quick support. These choices provide flexibility and help maintain consistency in care when schedules or locations 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.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)

Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.
