Anne-Marie Cline, LCSW - Therapist in Hawaii

About Anne-Marie

Anne-Marie Cline is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing relationship and family challenges. She focuses on practical steps parents and partners can use to reduce stress, ease anxiety, and improve communication. Her tone is straightforward and kind, aimed at readers looking for clear support in everyday life.

She creates an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can share worries and explore options. Sessions emphasize listening first, then working together on doable changes.

Background and approach

She supports people dealing with LGBT concerns, addictive behaviors, low self-esteem, depression, and compassion fatigue. Anne-Marie draws on Attachment-Based methods to look at how past relationships shape current patterns. She also uses Client-Centered techniques to keep the work focused on each person’s goals, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address thinking and behavior that get in the way of change.

Mindfulness and Motivational Interviewing tools are woven in when they fit the situation. Her practice reflects 10 years of experience in Hawaii as a licensed clinical social worker. She offers a calm, practical approach that aims for steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Parents and adults concerned about family dynamics, communication breakdowns, or caregiving stress will find concrete strategies to try between sessions. Therapy is paced to each person’s needs, with clear goals and follow-up steps. The focus is on small, sustainable shifts that improve daily life and relationships over time.

Therapeutic approaches that translate well online

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect how people connect now. Online work can help identify those patterns and practice new ways of relating in everyday life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through clear, step-by-step exercises. It works well over video or text because homework and skill-building can be shared and reviewed between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then tailor techniques to fit the client. That collaborative decision helps make sessions practical and focused on real life needs rather than abstract theory.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy households in Hawaii and beyond with options like video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to check in between appointments, practice new skills, and stay consistent with therapy despite a busy schedule. Licensed professionals can adapt tools like CBT worksheets, attachment-focused conversations, and mindfulness practices to these formats so progress continues even when in-person visits aren’t possible.

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.

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.
