How her approaches shape online sessions
Ann-Marie commonly uses client-centered therapy and mindfulness practices when working with people. Client-centered work means sessions begin with listening to what matters most to the individual and following their pace. Mindfulness techniques are taught as short exercises to lower reactivity and improve attention during stressful moments.She also uses motivational interviewing to help people move through ambivalence about change. That approach focuses on exploring pros and cons and building small, practical commitments toward goals. Together these methods aim to balance emotional understanding with clear next steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best for their goals, needs, and preferences. Clients and therapist check in together and adjust techniques as progress is made.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking.

They also let people use mindfulness exercises and motivational techniques between appointments to support steady progress.
