About Ann
Ann Marie Harty is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with 10 years of experience. She provides individual therapy for adults who are managing anxiety, depression, stress, caregiver strain, grief, issues with self-esteem, and career concerns. Her practice notes attention to culturally influenced expectations and challenges faced by African American and Caribbean clients.
She focuses on clear, practical approaches. Sessions often involve noticing thoughts and habits, testing different responses, and practicing new coping skills. Mindfulness practices are used to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, when appropriate, looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and tests more helpful ways of thinking.
Ann Marie also uses client-centered methods that center the person's priorities and emotionally focused ideas to address relationship-related feelings or attachment concerns. She draws on existential questions about meaning and life purpose when clients want to address larger life direction issues.
Her experience includes supporting caregivers, people facing aging and geriatric issues, and those dealing with grief or compassion fatigue. She helps people address communication problems, cultural and multicultural concerns, and the impact of prejudice or discrimination on daily life.
Therapy is practical and goal-oriented. Work may include homework between sessions, gradual exposure to feared situations, and exercises to shift unhelpful beliefs. Clients are encouraged to define the goals they want to reach and to track small, measurable changes over time.

Client-centered methods focus on the person's priorities and encourage clear communication about goals and progress during sessions.
