About Ann
Ann Huyghe is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Michigan with 14 years of experience. She focuses on problems people commonly face at home and work, including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and parenting concerns. Ann also helps with relationship strain, grief, eating and intimacy-related issues, and challenges linked to mood and attention.
Ann frames sessions around straightforward conversation. She listens to what feels most pressing and works with clients to set short-term goals. Her approach draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and on client-centered methods that keep the conversation grounded in the client's experience.
She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) ideas to clarify values and increase psychological flexibility. Motivational Interviewing is part of her toolbox for people who want practical momentum toward change. Ann will discuss which tools fit a client's goals and adjust as needs shift.
In sessions she pays attention to how attachment patterns and shame can shape relationships and daily decisions. She often helps people with impulsivity and compulsive behaviors by breaking problems into manageable steps. For those coping with seasonal mood shifts, bipolar symptoms, or obsessive concerns, she combines practical strategies with ongoing support.
Her practice aims to help adults who are juggling household responsibilities and emotional strain. If someone is unsure where to begin, she suggests a first meeting to map priorities and decide on next steps.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Ann commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is practical and can be useful for anxiety, depression, phobias, and obsessive concerns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and learning to act in ways that matter despite uncomfortable feelings; it can help with stress, avoidance, and parenting-related distress. Client-Centered Therapy places emphasis on listening and reflecting the client's experience to build trust and clarify goals. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss these methods, listen to the client's goals, and pick or combine techniques that match the person's needs and preferences. That decision is collaborative and may change as progress is made. The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find remote sessions help them keep therapy consistent alongside parenting, work, and caregiving responsibilities.Areas of focus
