AnnMarie Lehrer, LPC - Therapist in Georgia

About AnnMarie

AnnMarie Lehrer is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, or low mood. She works with clients struggling with relationships, parenting concerns, and self-esteem. Her style is straightforward and supportive, focused on small changes that make day-to-day life easier.

She believes clients already have strengths to build on and treats therapy as a collaborative process. Sessions tend to focus on practical skills like communication, time management, and decision making.

Background and approach

AnnMarie also brings experience supporting people through motivation and confidence challenges. Her background includes work with adults and teens on addiction and recovery, and with common family and parenting challenges. She draws from several evidence-based approaches to tailor the work to each person.

Over six years she has combined structured techniques with a compassionate, client-centered stance. In sessions she uses skills from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice unhelpful thoughts and from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people act on their values. Emotionally-Focused and Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools are used when relationships or strong emotions are central concerns.

AnnMarie practices in Georgia as an LPC and provides care in English. Her approach is practical and steady. She aims to make each visit useful and manageable for busy lives.

Parents or adults seeking guidance around stress, parenting, or relationship struggles will find clear, focused support.

Therapeutic approaches for online family and parenting support

AnnMarie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. This approach works well for anxiety, low mood, and everyday parenting worries by teaching concrete coping strategies and problem-solving skills.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small actions that build a meaningful life. ACT can be useful when someone is stuck on avoidance or struggling to balance responsibilities and personal goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss what seems most useful for a person's situation and adjust methods based on goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where therapist and client try tools and keep what helps.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules and parents who need alternative formats. Sessions can happen by video calls or phone when real-time conversation is needed, and live chat or text-based messaging can fit quick check-ins or ongoing support. These options make it easier to practice skills between sessions and stay connected while managing family 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.

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.
