Background and approach
With 20 years of clinical experience, she draws on a broad skill set to help people identify strengths, build coping strategies, and pursue clearer goals for daily functioning and personal growth. Her style blends evidence-informed techniques with an empathetic, client-centered stance.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) features in her practice to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, while Solution-Focused Therapy and Motivational Interviewing guide goal-setting and motivation. Anne Marie emphasizes practical skills, collaborative planning, and step-by-step approaches tailored to each person’s circumstances.
Sessions are offered through a variety of online formats to fit different needs and schedules. She frames work as a partnership, helping clients translate insights into manageable actions and renewed confidence as they navigate parenting demands, attention-related challenges, and broader questions about purpose and self-worth.
Applying Practical Therapies to Online Care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, offering structured techniques useful for anxiety, attentional challenges, and impulsivity. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathetic listening and respect for each person’s perspective, creating space for clients to explore values, self-worth, and life purpose at their own pace. Motivational Interviewing supports readiness for change by helping clients clarify their goals and strengthen internal motivation through collaborative conversations.
Selecting the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist works together with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative stance means techniques can be adapted over time, combining strategies to address short-term challenges and longer-term growth.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which allow for flexible scheduling and easier access from different locations. These options make it simpler to maintain continuity of care around busy routines and to practice skills between sessions, supporting steady progress toward personal and parenting goals.
