About Anne

Background and approach

Sessions often include coach-like guidance, problem-solving steps, and moments to celebrate progress. Anne Marie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. She applies Solution-Focused Therapy to identify what is already working and build on those strengths.

Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck and needs a gentle nudge toward change. Practical tools are a big part of her work. That can mean behavior plans, social skills practice, or clear routines parents can try between sessions.

She explains recommendations in simple language so parents can use them right away. Her practice is based in Pennsylvania and draws on two decades of clinical experience. Anne Marie aims to create a steady, collaborative process so people feel more confident managing daily challenges and moving toward clearer goals.

Online support

How therapeutic approaches fit into online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy puts the person’s goals first and focuses on listening, empathy, and respect. In an online session this means the therapist mirrors concerns, asks about priorities, and follows the client's lead to set useful goals.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. In remote sessions, CBT can include homework like behavior experiments, thought records, and step-by-step practice to change patterns that cause stress.

Motivational Interviewing supports people who feel uncertain about change by exploring values and enhancing motivation. Online it can be a short series of conversations that help someone move from thinking about change to taking the first actions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person or parent to choose methods that match goals, preferences, and daily life. That might mean combining listening-focused sessions with skill-building CBT exercises or short solution-focused check-ins.

Online sessions offer flexibility and practical benefits. Video calls let a therapist observe interactions and coach skills in real time. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging let parents get quick feedback, try new strategies between meetings, and keep a running dialogue without scheduling a full call.
