About Ann

Ann Weight is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) who focuses on family and parenting concerns among a range of life issues. She brings an upbeat, accepting style and genuine interest to sessions. Ann aims to help people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, grief, and self-esteem struggles.

She describes therapy as a chance for self-discovery and practical change rather than just talk. Ann uses common-sense approaches to match each person’s situation.

Background and approach

She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clarify values and take action. Motivational Interviewing is used to build readiness for change when habits or addictions get in the way. Solution-Focused work helps set small, achievable goals in everyday life.

Her practice emphasizes listening first and tailoring a plan second. Clients can expect straightforward conversation that names problems, explores options, and practices skills. Mindfulness exercises and client-centered listening often appear in sessions to steady emotions and improve focus.

Ann has 12 years of clinical experience and stays current with evidence-based methods. She works with concerns that include parenting, family dynamics, LGBT issues, process and substance addictions, midlife transitions, and women’s issues. She is licensed in Utah as LCMHC and conducts sessions in English.

People who prefer a supportive, practical approach will find clear steps and simple tools in her work. Ann aims for steady progress through collaboration, focused skills, and guided practice.

How Ann’s Approaches Work Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take steps toward those values. Online work using ACT focuses on small, practical actions and noticing thoughts without getting stuck in them, which can fit well into weekly virtual sessions.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes being heard and understood. In remote sessions this looks like a steady, nonjudgmental presence from the therapist that creates space for clients to find answers at their own pace. Motivational Interviewing is often paired with these methods to support change by building motivation and resolving mixed feelings about behavior shifts.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Ann will talk with clients about goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust the plan as progress unfolds. The aim is to match tools and pacing to what actually helps the person move forward.

Online formats offer flexibility for busy families or long workdays. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction, phone sessions remove travel time, and live chat or text-based messaging can support quick check-ins and skill practice between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting into real life.

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.

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.

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.
