Ann Huyghe is a licensed professional counselor who focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, and major life transitions. With 14 years of experience practicing in Michigan, she draws on evidence-informed methods to tailor conversations and treatment plans to each clients needs.

Background and approach

Ann emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion as the foundation for collaborative work and supports clients facing issues such as relationship and family concerns, grief, intimacy-related struggles, eating and food-related issues, parenting challenges, and career-related stress.

Her practice also addresses a range of mood and behavioral concerns including bipolar symptoms, ADHD-related difficulties, obsessions and compulsions, phobias, post-traumatic stress, seasonal affective disorder, social anxiety, and struggles with guilt, shame, and self-love.

Ann integrates approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and client-centered methods to help clients identify patterns, build coping skills, and pursue meaningful change. She recognizes that beginning therapy takes courage and aims to make the process approachable and tailored to each person who reaches out.

Approaches and Access: How Therapy Works Online

Ann uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns; CBT is practical for anxiety, depression, phobias, and many daily stressors. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on clarifying values, accepting difficult internal experiences, and taking committed action toward a meaningful life. Client-centered methods are woven through her work to ensure sessions remain attuned to each person's perspective and priorities.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and is determined collaboratively. The therapist will explore your concerns, goals, and preferences and adapt techniques accordingly so that treatment feels relevant and doable for you rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

Online therapy in her practice is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives. These options support consistent access to a licensed professional and allow clients to work on stress, mood, trauma-related concerns, relationship struggles, and behavior change from locations that suit them.
