AnnMarie Lehrer , LPC

AnnMarie Lehrer is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia who helps women and other adults facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and relationship strain. She focuses on practical steps clients can use right away. Her tone is direct and encouraging and she centers clients' strengths in the work.

She draws on several therapy styles to match a person's needs rather than offering a one-size-fits-all plan. Sessions emphasize clear goals, coping skills, and small behavior changes. Clients leave with tools they can use between meetings to manage mood and stress.

AnnMarie has six years of clinical experience working with issues such as attachment concerns, body image, caregiver stress, parenting challenges, and communication problems. She also supports people dealing with divorce or separation, guilt and shame, isolation, and questions about life purpose.

Her counseling approach includes practical strategies for impulsivity, trauma-related stress, pregnancy and childbirth concerns, and building self-love. She encourages clients to tap into their existing strengths while practicing new ways of coping and relating.

In sessions she uses clear, everyday language and collaborative problem solving. People can expect an empathetic listener who will help them set small, achievable goals and track progress over time.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without letting them drive actions and then commit to values-based steps. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and life-purpose questions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns and testing new ways of thinking and acting to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is centered on understanding emotions and improving how people connect and communicate in relationships, which can help with attachment and relationship strain.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to learn what matters to each person, tries methods that fit their preferences, and adjusts the plan based on how the sessions go. This makes it easier to find strategies that feel useful and workable in daily life.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls are good for a face-to-face feel when discussing deeper issues. Phone sessions can fit into a busy schedule or be used when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins, quick skill practice, or support between longer sessions. These formats make it easier to keep consistent care around work, childcare, and other life demands.
