About Ann
Ann Adams is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) licensed in Florida and Rhode Island with three years of experience. She works with people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, low self-esteem, relationship strain, addiction concerns, mood issues, and codependency. Sessions are aimed at practical change rather than long lectures.
Ann uses a client-centered stance that treats people with respect and direct feedback. She often blends cognitive-behavioral techniques with mindfulness and solution-focused work. That means sessions include identifying thoughts that get in the way, short exercises to notice the moment, and concrete steps to try between meetings.
She tends to set at least one goal early in the work so progress is visible. Conversations are straightforward and task-oriented when needed. Clients are invited to test small changes and bring back what did and did not help.
Ann’s background includes work in addictions and life coaching alongside counseling. That experience informs how she talks about relapse, responsibility, and practical steps to reduce harmful patterns. She also addresses stressors related to caregiving, blended family situations, and midlife transitions.
People who want clear feedback and a mix of talking and skill practice often find this style useful. She speaks English and practices in Florida under the FL LMHC and RI LMHC credentials. Before booking, confirm current session formats and scheduling options.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on treating the person with respect and offering reflective feedback. Online sessions using this stance look like attentive listening followed by clear observations and collaborative goal-setting, which helps when someone feels stuck in people-pleasing or caretaking patterns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online CBT sessions often include tracking unhelpful thoughts, practicing small behavioral experiments, and reviewing what changed. This can be useful for anxiety, depression, and patterns tied to codependency.
Mindfulness work teaches simple techniques to notice the present moment without judgment. Practicing brief mindfulness exercises in a session and as homework can reduce reactivity and increase awareness of automatic caretaking responses.
Finding the right blend of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose approaches that match their goals, preferences, and everyday life. That means reviewing what helps and adjusting the plan as therapy continues.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. These practical benefits often help people keep consistent progress.
