About Annemarie
She begins by meeting each person where they are. Sessions focus on small, achievable steps that improve daily functioning. Annemarie draws on Client-Centered methods to listen closely and build a collaborative relationship before introducing other tools.
She uses techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and change behaviors that keep problems going. Mindfulness practices are offered to help reduce reactivity and increase present-moment awareness. Psychodynamic ideas are also part of the work when understanding patterns from the past may help now.
People often come for help with relationships, parenting stress, caregiver strain, burnout, and mood concerns such as bipolar disorder and depression. Additional areas she addresses include grief, trauma and abuse, ADHD-related struggles, impulse control, and problems tied to substance use.
Her practice emphasizes partnership. Sessions are practical and goal-oriented, and she encourages people to try strategies between meetings. The focus is on improving daily life, managing symptoms, and strengthening coping skills over time.

How Annemarie Uses Talk Therapy and Skills Online
Annemarie blends Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide online sessions in a clear, practical way. Client-Centered Therapy means she listens closely, follows what matters most to the person, and shapes sessions around their goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavior changes to ease symptoms and improve daily routines.Finding the right approach happens together. She will work with the client to decide which methods fit best for the problem at hand and the person's goals. That process is collaborative and can shift over time as needs change.
Confirm the specific session options before booking, as the therapist's biography does not list formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow short check-ins when needed. It also supports working on skills between sessions, with strategies you can practice in daily life to measure progress.
