About Anne

Anne Marie Sales is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Florida. She has 24 years of experience helping people who are stressed, anxious, grieving, or facing major life changes. She also supports clients dealing with relationship challenges, parenting concerns, addiction and sex addiction, and issues like ADHD, depression, and anger.

Her style is warm and interactive. Conversations are practical and focused on small, doable steps. She helps people set goals and then creates simple plans to reach them through discussion and action.

Background and approach

Anne Marie has worked in adult substance use treatment and community mental health settings. She has provided individual, family, and group therapy over many years. That background gives her experience with a wide range of life and relationship problems.

She uses several approaches that fit the person and the problem. These include Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Systemic Therapy. Sessions aim to be collaborative, with the client directing priorities and pace.

Reaching out for help can feel hard. Anne Marie offers a steady, experienced presence to talk through concerns and build practical plans. She encourages people to take the first step when they feel ready.

How Anne Marie’s Approaches Work Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and supporting what matters to the client. The therapist follows the client’s lead, offering empathy and reflection to help clarify goals and build confidence. This approach is helpful when someone needs a safe space to sort through feelings.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It uses straightforward techniques to change unhelpful thinking and encourage practical behavior changes, which can ease anxiety, depression, and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Anne Marie collaborates with clients to pick methods that match their goals and comfort level. She adjusts strategies over time based on what is most helpful for the person.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. These options let people fit therapy into busy lives, keep momentum between meetings, and use the format that feels most comfortable. For many, that flexibility makes it easier to try small changes and stay consistent with the plan.

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.

Solution-Focused Therapy

Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
