About Ann
Ann Huyghe is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Michigan with 14 years of clinical experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, and life changes. Ann also supports concerns around relationships, grief, intimacy, eating and self-esteem.
Ann uses straightforward conversations to help people notice patterns that keep problems going. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits, and on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered ideas to help people clarify values and take small steps that matter. Sessions focus on practical skills people can try between meetings.
Her approach is collaborative and structured. A typical visit looks at what matters now, what makes things worse, and what a next step could be. She uses short exercises, reflective questions, and goal-focused planning rather than long lectures or vague advice.
Ann has worked across common mood and anxiety concerns, including bipolar presentations, ADHD-related difficulties, OCD patterns, phobias, and post-traumatic stress. She also addresses eating and food-related issues, attachment concerns, guilt and shame, impulsivity, and seasonal mood shifts.
People who choose Ann often want clear tools and steady follow-through. The emphasis is on noticing what’s keeping a problem in place, testing small changes, and building habits that fit daily life. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
How Ann uses CBT, ACT, and client-centered work online
Ann frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and test unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT breaks problems into clear parts - thoughts, actions, and feelings - and offers small experiments to change them. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports noticing uncomfortable thoughts while focusing on values and committed action rather than trying to eliminate every unpleasant feeling. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and reflection to help people find their own solutions and make decisions that fit their life.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ann treats approach selection as a collaborative process and will help decide which methods to emphasize based on a person’s current goals, needs, and preferences. She combines structured CBT exercises with ACT practices or client-centered reflection when that best serves the goals discussed in sessions.
The practical benefit of working online is fitting sessions into everyday life. Many people find it easier to schedule a shorter check-in during a lunch break or to avoid travel time on busy days. Because session formats were not specified in the biography, confirm current online session options before booking. The focus is on making therapy workable alongside work, parenting, and other daily responsibilities.
