Ann Stromberg, LISW - Therapist in Ohio

About Ann

Ann Stromberg is an Ohio Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) with 12 years of experience. She focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, depression, anger, career questions, and compassion fatigue. Ann uses a straightforward, practical style and aims to help parents and caregivers build skills that last.

She emphasizes working efficiently toward clear goals while honoring each person’s experience. Her sessions blend cognitive behavioral techniques with solution-focused strategies.

Background and approach

She also draws on acceptance and commitment ideas and mindfulness to help people manage difficult thoughts and feelings. Ann looks at life broadly - relationships, work, health, and daily routines - to see what’s working and what needs small changes. Ann has worked in clinical, community, and school settings.

That variety shaped her skill in supporting people across the life span, from school-aged youth to older adults. She pays attention to feedback from the person in therapy to adjust what she offers and avoid wasting time on unhelpful methods. In practical terms she helps clients build concrete skills for coping, improving communication, and navigating transitions.

She focuses on solutions a person can use between sessions. The aim is steady progress and tools people can rely on after therapy ends. Sessions are offered in English and are available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.

Ann expects clients to be active partners and she helps tailor strategies to each family’s needs and goals.

How targeted approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate actions. It focuses on what matters most and on taking small, values-driven steps toward those goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thought and behavior patterns and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful habits and reduce anxiety or low mood. Mindfulness Therapy trains simple awareness practices so strong emotions feel more manageable and people can respond rather than react.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and everyday routines to decide together which methods to try first. If something isn’t helping, she adjusts the plan based on client feedback so sessions stay practical and useful.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy families and caregivers. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions work when screens aren’t convenient. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to check in between meetings or use shorter, focused support. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into family schedules and to apply new skills in real time.

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.

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.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
