Anne-Marie Cline , LCSW

Anne-Marie Cline is a licensed social worker who helps people facing anxiety, stress, relationship challenges, and issues tied to LGBT identity. She welcomes straightforward conversations and aims to make starting therapy feel manageable. That first step toward change is often the hardest, and she focuses on practical ways to move forward.

Anne-Marie uses a gentle, person-focused approach that centers the client's experience. Sessions emphasize listening first, then working together to find small changes that add up. She draws on methods that help people notice unhelpful thoughts, build healthier patterns, and strengthen emotional connections.

Her background includes ten years of clinical experience in Hawaii as an LCSW, which has shaped a calm and patient style. She brings that experience to issues such as depression, addictions, attachment concerns, caregiver stress, and body image. Common topics include communication problems, codependency, and forgiveness work.

Therapy with Anne-Marie often blends practical tools and reflective conversation. Clients can expect guided exercises, goal-focused plans, and moments to reflect on deeper patterns. She also helps people cope with compassion fatigue and recover from difficult life events or losses.

Sessions may cover family dynamics, adoption and foster care questions, and challenges around commitment or control issues. Her work emphasizes collaboration and steady support as people learn new ways of relating to themselves and others.

How Anne-Marie’s Approaches Work Online

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape feelings and reactions. Online sessions can help people notice those patterns and practice new ways of relating in real time, which is useful for relationship and attachment concerns.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and respect for the client’s goals. The therapist follows the client’s lead, reflecting feelings and supporting self-directed change; this approach helps when someone needs a safe space to sort through difficult emotions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. In remote sessions this may include short exercises, thought records, and behavior experiments that clients can try between meetings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, and then adapt methods together in a collaborative way. Clients help shape the plan and can shift strategies as progress is made.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility. Video is helpful for face-to-face interaction and longer sessions, phone can fit brief check-ins or low-bandwidth situations, and messaging or chat works for ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and varied routines.
