About Ann

Ann Stancil is a licensed clinical social worker based in Indiana who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, trauma, mood disorders, relationship and family concerns, and challenges related to identity and addiction.

Background and approach

With 17 years of clinical experience, she draws on practical methods to support clients through grief, parenting difficulties, intimacy issues, and life transitions while attending to co-occurring concerns such as substance use or mood instability.

Her style emphasizes openness and a nonjudgmental stance; she aims to create a collaborative environment where clients’ values, backgrounds, and goals guide the work. Trained to use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with client-centered and dialectical behavior strategies, she blends tools for changing unhelpful thinking, building coping skills, and strengthening emotional regulation.

Ann has worked across the lifespan and brings experience with a wide range of diagnostic and situational challenges including bipolar disorder, disruptive mood dysregulation, personality-related concerns, and end-of-life issues. She communicates in English and practices as LCSW IN LCSW 34007759A.

Prospective clients who are located in Indiana and seeking therapy that combines practical skill-building with empathic support may find her approach helpful.

Online therapy methods grounded in practical skills

Ann integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy into online work to address thought patterns, coping, and personal goals. CBT helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening, validation, and collaboration so clients feel heard while exploring choices and values.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process; she partners with each client to determine which combination of strategies fits their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration guides whether more skills training, problem-focused work, or supportive exploration is emphasized during sessions.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible access for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to fit regular sessions into busy lives, maintain continuity during transitions, and access therapy from home or another convenient location.
