About Ann
Ann Keith is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 14 years of experience practicing in New Mexico and Texas. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns, addiction, trauma and abuse, and challenges tied to family and life transitions.
Her work often focuses on practical skills for daily life. She helps people with communication problems, low self-esteem, and coping with major changes like divorce or loss. She also supports those dealing with caregiver stress, aging and end-of-life issues, and feelings of isolation.
Ann draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try small, concrete changes. She also uses Attachment-Based and Emotionally-Focused ideas to look at how past relationships shape present reactions. Sessions emphasize clear, doable steps rather than abstract theory.
People meet her to talk through grief, anger, family of origin issues, or struggles with addiction and bipolar mood patterns. She brings steady clinical experience to these topics and works with each person to set manageable goals. Services are offered in English and international clients are accepted.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled. Cost varies with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then commit to actions that reflect their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing small behavior changes to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression. Emotionally-Focused ideas help pinpoint how emotions drive relationship patterns and how new responses can shift interactions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ann will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best based on goals and preferences. That process may include trying one approach, mixing methods, or adjusting techniques over time.
Please confirm the current session formats before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also allow sessions when someone is in a different location, which can help maintain continuity during life transitions.
