About Anne
Anne Marie Sales is an LMFT - Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Florida with 24 years of experience. She helps people handle stress, anxiety, relationship and self-esteem concerns, as well as depression, substance issues, ADHD, and life transitions. Her work also covers grief, intimacy-related issues, parenting strain, anger, career questions, bipolar-related concerns, compassion fatigue, and sex addiction.
She uses straightforward conversation and practical steps. Sessions focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and patterns, and trying different ways of responding. Clients set goals and develop simple action plans to test new habits between meetings.
Her approach pulls from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered methods, and solution-focused techniques. That means some sessions map thinking-feeling-behavior links, others concentrate on immediate strategies that move a problem forward. She has also worked in family and group settings, and brings that experience to individual work.
Clients can expect an interactive style where talk leads to clear next steps. The therapist helps people notice patterns, choose small experiments, and review what works. Progress is tracked against the goals the client sets.
Her background includes many years in community mental health and substance use treatment. That history informs pragmatic work with people who are juggling daily responsibilities and stressful transitions. If someone wants a practical, action-oriented approach, she offers that framework and helps adjust it as needed.
How her approaches work for online sessions
Anne Marie draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and test unhelpful thoughts and habits. CBT sessions often involve setting a clear goal, tracking reactions, and trying short experiments between appointments to see what changes behavior and mood.She also uses client-centered techniques that focus on listening and reflecting what the client brings. That approach is about understanding concerns from the client's perspective and shaping goals together. Solution-focused therapy is used to identify practical next steps and build on what already works, often with small tangible tasks to try before the next meeting.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to decide which method or mix of methods fits their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can be adjusted as progress is reviewed.
The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Many people find remote sessions make it easier to attend regular appointments and practice skills between meetings.
