Anne Marie Briggs , LMHC

Anne Marie Briggs is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in Hawaii who helps people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, career questions, and life transitions. She focuses on practical steps people can take to feel steadier and more confident, and she guides clients toward clearer goals and healthier day-to-day routines.

Her sessions are down-to-earth and centered on the person in front of her. Conversations cover communication skills, building self-love, and finding a sense of purpose. She uses evidence-based techniques to address emotional strain and practical problems one step at a time.

Anne Marie has ten years of clinical experience in a range of settings. Over that time she has supported people facing chronic health limits, caregiving stress, fertility and perinatal challenges, and work-related adjustments. Her background includes work with multicultural communities and people living with intellectual or developmental differences.

In therapy she combines listening with concrete tools. Clients can expect help with coping skills, decision-making around careers or life changes, and strategies for managing persistent worry or emptiness. Sessions aim to be collaborative and goal-oriented.

She offers different session formats to fit busy lives, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Anne Marie works in English and practices from Hawaii, bringing a compassionate, respectful approach to each client's situation.

Evidence-Based Tools and Online Support

Anne Marie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skill-building and practical change. One common approach teaches concrete coping skills for anxiety and stress, such as breathing, behavioral experiments, and step-by-step activity planning to reduce worry and increase functioning. These skills help when anxiety or overwhelm gets in the way of daily life.

Another approach emphasizes self-worth and communication work. This involves identifying self-critical thoughts, practicing self-compassion, and rehearsing clearer ways to express needs at work or in relationships. It is useful for people facing low self-esteem, career decisions, or ongoing interpersonal strain.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to figure out which techniques fit their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, and will adjust methods as progress is made.

Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls offer face-to-face interaction for deeper conversation, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow short, focused support and are useful for tracking progress or getting timely encouragement between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to continue work when travel or location would otherwise be a barrier.
