About Ann
Ann Adams is an LMHC licensed in Florida and Rhode Island with 3 years of experience. She helps people managing stress, anxiety, depression, parenting concerns, relationship and family issues, addictions, career concerns, and life transitions. Her work also covers mood disorders and concerns such as caregiver stress, blended family problems, and midlife questions.
Ann uses straightforward, goal-focused sessions. She prefers setting at least one clear goal early on so progress can be tracked. Sessions emphasize noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing different ways of responding. Clients get direct feedback and practical tasks to try between meetings.
Her approach combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) ideas with client-centered listening and elements of mindfulness and motivational interviewing. That mix is used to break down thinking patterns, sharpen decision-making, and build skills for everyday challenges. She also draws on solution-focused techniques to identify small, concrete steps forward.
Work with Ann typically includes talking through current problems, practicing new responses, and checking what worked. She offers coaching-style guidance when people want structure and action plans alongside counseling. Conversations are oriented toward measurable change rather than vague discussion.
Sessions are in English and based in Florida. Ann asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session so they can set goals together.
How Ann Uses CBT and Related Methods Online
Ann uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT sessions focus on concrete skills - noticing thought patterns, running simple experiments, and practicing alternatives between meetings.She also works from a client-centered perspective, which means listening closely to what matters to the person and using that input to shape each session. Existential ideas are used when clients want to discuss meaning, values, or life transitions; those conversations explore choices and personal priorities rather than offering one fixed path.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ann will collaborate with each person to decide whether CBT, client-centered listening, or existential exploration fits their situation best. That decision is based on the client’s goals, preferences, and how they respond in early sessions.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove the need to travel. Ann uses practical exercises and brief between-session tasks that can be done in ordinary life to help change habits and track progress.
