Ann Bodensteiner, MN Psychologist LP3829

Ann Bodensteiner is a Minnesota Psychologist (MN Psychologist LP3829) with 28 years of clinical work. She sees adults who are dealing with relationship strain, family conflict, anger, depression, anxiety, grief, addiction concerns, and parenting stress. She also offers support around career issues, self-esteem, and coping with life changes.

Her background includes about 20 years working with District Court family services, focusing on divorce, custody, mediation, and conflict resolution. She has also worked in private practice where she met couples and individuals for ongoing therapy and short-term support. That mix means she is used to both practical problem solving and longer-term emotional work.

Ann integrates several therapy approaches in her sessions. She uses client-centered work to keep conversations focused on the client’s concerns. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify the thoughts and behaviors that maintain stress and anger. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness tools to help people notice and respond differently to difficult emotions.

Faith can be part of the work when clients want it. She identifies as a Catholic psychologist and can include a faith-based dimension for people who request that. For others she respects different spiritual perspectives and focuses on the issues they bring.

Sessions aim to be straightforward and practical. People often come for help with communication problems, unresolved family-of-origin issues, codependency, and coping after separation or loss. Ann encourages clear goals and collaborative planning in therapy.
