About Ann
Ann Keith is a licensed clinical social worker who uses compassionate, practical therapy to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship struggles. She brings 14 years of clinical experience and works with clients on a range of concerns, including addiction, trauma, anger, and low self-esteem.
Her approach aims to help people gain clearer perspective and find ways to cope day to day. Ann combines learning about a person’s situation with straightforward tools people can use between sessions.
Background and approach
She draws on methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques and acceptance-based strategies to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try new actions. Sessions focus on what matters most to the client and on small steps that build confidence. She also attends to how attachment and emotions show up in relationships.
That can look like improving communication, addressing abandonment issues, or working through family of origin concerns. Ann helps people sort through life transitions such as divorce, caregiving stress, aging, or midlife shifts so decisions feel less overwhelming. Practical issues like hospice and end-of-life conversations, coping after natural or human-caused disasters, and managing bipolar symptoms are included in her work.
She supports people dealing with body image, isolation, and finding life purpose. Ann offers in-person and online formats from her New Mexico practice and speaks English. Ann holds a license as a clinical social worker (LCSW) and maintains licensure in Texas and New Mexico.
She aims for a warm, respectful tone and partners with people to set realistic goals and build skills they can use long term.
Online approaches that focus on action and relationships
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take small, values-based steps even when feelings are hard. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and actions that keep problems going and teaches practical strategies to test and change them; it often helps with anxiety, mood, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns affect current connections and communication, which can help when relationship issues or abandonment concerns are part of the problem.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That might mean combining ACT and CBT tools or focusing on attachment-related exercises when relationships are central.
Online therapy offers several practical advantages. Video calls let people work face to face without travel, while phone sessions can be a good option when video is difficult or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to check in between sessions or fit a brief appointment into a busy day. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or travel.
