About Ann
Ann Marie Harty is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps adults manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and life transitions. She supports people facing career strain, compassion fatigue, low self-esteem, and challenges linked to caregiving or aging. She works with clients who are wrestling with family issues, loneliness, and questions about life purpose.
Her approach is practical and person-focused. She listens first and helps people set clear, realistic goals. Sessions are conversational and grounded in everyday choices rather than clinical jargon.
Background and approach
She draws on mindfulness and cognitive methods to help clients notice patterns and try different responses. Ann Marie blends emotionally-focused work with existential ideas about meaning and values. That means she helps people improve emotional connection with themselves and consider what matters most to them.
She also offers strategies to reduce distress and manage mood symptoms in daily life. She has ten years of clinical experience and holds a Florida Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential, listed as FL LCSW SW21612. Her background includes supporting adults dealing with multicultural stress and issues tied to immigration, prejudice, or caregiving roles.
People who come to her can expect a steady, compassionate presence and clear tools to practice between sessions. The goal is to build small, sustainable changes so daily life feels more manageable and meaningful.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s experience and priorities. Sessions aim to create space to tell your story, clarify what matters, and make decisions that fit your life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior and offers concrete skills to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. Mindfulness therapy teaches moment-to-moment awareness and simple practices that help manage stress and emotional reactivity.Finding the right fit is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which approach or combination suits the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying methods, checking in about what helps, and adjusting as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that is helpful. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat and text messaging support shorter updates or ongoing contact between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving routines, or travel schedules while maintaining continuity of care.
