Ann Adams, LMHC

Ann Adams is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting challenges, depression, mood disorders, and the effects of addiction. She also supports people dealing with career change, self-esteem concerns, compassion fatigue, and various life transitions.

Ann works in a warm, respectful way and gives direct feedback during sessions. She uses a person-centered attitude that treats people with dignity and compassion. She often combines cognitive-behavioral ideas, mindfulness, and solution-focused steps to help clients make concrete changes.

In practice she aims to set at least one goal on the first visit. Sessions tend to focus on clear, manageable steps people can try between meetings. Ann encourages clients to notice small changes and build on them so goals feel achievable.

Her background includes several years supporting people with addictions and many common life stressors. She applies coaching skills alongside psychotherapy to help people follow through on goals and stay motivated. Ann believes clients usually know what they want to change and benefit from guidance in finding the path forward.

People who choose her often want straightforward help that fits into daily life. She offers a collaborative approach, asking questions and giving tools while keeping the person’s values and preferences central. To get started, clients complete the intake steps and schedule based on availability.

How these approaches can work online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on meeting people with respect and understanding, helping them feel heard while they talk through problems. It supports issues like relationship worries, self-esteem, and life transitions by centering the person's own goals and values.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, coping with stress, and managing mood symptoms.

Mindfulness Therapy encourages simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm. It can help with anxiety, stress, and staying present through difficult moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to goals and try methods that fit the person’s needs and preferences. Choices are reviewed as therapy progresses and adjusted based on what helps most.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the available session formats before booking since the profile does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Different methods translate well to remote meetings, and the therapist will help decide practical ways to use the chosen approach in day-to-day life.
