About Ann
Ann Keith is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 14 years of experience based in New Mexico. She works with adults on problems such as depression, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, and anger. Sessions are conversational and focused on practical steps rather than jargon.
Her background includes work with people facing life transitions, addiction concerns, and long-term mood challenges like bipolar disorder. She also addresses family of origin issues, communication problems, and caregiving stress. The writing and guidance aim to be straightforward and actionable.
Ann uses a blend of approaches chosen to fit a person's situation. That might include cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking, acceptance and commitment strategies to clarify values, or attachment-based ideas to improve how people relate. Emotionally-focused and client-centered methods inform how she listens and responds.
In sessions she helps people notice patterns, try small changes, and track what works. Conversations often include concrete tools for managing anger, improving communication, or coping with grief. She encourages short experiments between sessions so progress can be measured in daily life.
People who come to her for help with midlife transitions, isolation, or end-of-life concerns will find an approach that blends practical problem solving with attention to relationships. To begin, clients complete a short questionnaire and then schedule an initial session to set goals together.
How sessions work
How Ann’s approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting ruled by them and identify values to guide action. It can help when anger is driven by avoidance or when life changes bring up strong reactions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting patterns of thinking and behavior that fuel frustration and testing small changes. It is useful for workplace stress, repeated arguments, and depressive thinking that increases irritability. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past relationship patterns shape current reactions and helps people try new ways of relating. It can be helpful when anger is closely tied to fears of abandonment or communication breakdowns. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose techniques that match their goals and daily demands. She will adjust methods over time based on what proves useful in session and between appointments. Confirm session formats before booking because the profile does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They can also let someone choose a quieter setting or avoid being on camera on harder days, depending on current options.Areas of focus
