About Ann
Ann Keith integrates cognitive behavioral strategies into a compassionate, client-centered framework to help people manage emotional and relational challenges.
Background and approach
Ann is a licensed clinical social worker with 14 years of practice; she draws on CBT alongside acceptance and commitment and attachment-informed methods to address concerns such as depression, anxiety, grief, and relationship difficulties. Her work emphasizes practical skills as well as emotional understanding to support change.
She brings attention to life transitions, coping with loss, and patterns that affect self-esteem and interpersonal connection. Additional focus areas include stress related to caregiving and aging, codependency and communication problems, trauma and abuse, substance-related concerns, and end-of-life or hospice counseling.
Ann adapts evidence-informed techniques to each person’s goals while honoring the individual story behind presenting symptoms. Based in New Mexico and licensed in both Texas and New Mexico as an LCSW, she provides therapy in English and accepts international clients.
Ann’s practice aims to help clients build resilience, improve coping with life changes, and strengthen meaningful relationships through collaborative work and steady clinical support.
Therapeutic approaches for online care and practical change
Ann commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; this approach is often chosen for anxiety, depression, and problems with coping or motivation because it emphasizes concrete skills and measurable change. She also integrates acceptance and commitment therapy, which focuses on values-based action and accepting difficult internal experiences while committing to meaningful behavior change. Attachment-based techniques are used to explore relational patterns and emotional bonds, helping clients understand how early or current attachments influence present relationships.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to determine which methods best match their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, adjusting the plan over time based on what proves most helpful.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for those juggling work, caregiving, or geographical distance. These formats make it easier to maintain consistent care, practice new skills between sessions, and access support from New Mexico or from other locations as needed.
