Ann Adams , LMHC

Ann Adams is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, self-esteem struggles, mood concerns, and life transitions. Ann also works with issues around addiction, relationship strain, career decisions, and compassion fatigue.

Ann focuses on a warm, respectful approach that centers the person's own goals. Sessions are practical and goal-oriented. She often works toward at least one clear goal early on and gives straightforward feedback during sessions.

Her style blends client-centered listening with tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness. That means she listens first, then suggests simple steps and thought tools to try between sessions. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques are used to help clients notice and build on small changes.

Ann has three years of experience as an LMHC and brings both counseling and coaching perspectives to her work. She has experience with addiction-related concerns and a range of mood and life-stage issues.

People meet with her to address things like grief over life changes, parenting stress, feeling stuck in a career, or coping with bipolar or depression symptoms. Sessions aim to help clients find practical ways forward and to strengthen their own problem-solving skills.

She offers appointments online by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire to get started and schedule according to therapist availability.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Ann often uses client-centered therapy, which means she starts by listening and helping clients identify what matters most to them. This approach helps people feel heard and lets the goals come from the person rather than the clinician.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and trying practical steps to change reactions and behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and mood-related concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Ann will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That might mean blending listening, mindfulness practices, goal-setting, and short homework tasks until the best fit emerges.

Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video works well for deeper conversations and visual connection. Phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Chat and messaging offer brief touchpoints between sessions and can fit into a busy day.

These formats give flexibility for people balancing work, caregiving, or transportation limits, while still allowing ongoing therapeutic work with a licensed professional.
