About Anne
Anne Marie Sales is a Florida LMFT (Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist) with 24 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, depression, anger, addictions, grief, and life changes. She also supports people with ADHD, career concerns, compassion fatigue, and sex addiction.
She begins by listening and getting a clear sense of what the person wants to change. Sessions focus on practical conversation and specific steps clients can try between meetings. She encourages clients to set concrete goals and tests small adjustments to see what works.
Her approach blends talk and action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify thought patterns that keep problems going. Solution-Focused Therapy highlights strengths and quick strategies to reduce immediate distress. Client-Centered techniques keep the conversation grounded in the client’s priorities.
Anne Marie has worked in adult substance use settings and community mental health, offering individual, family, and group therapy across her career. That experience informs how she discusses addiction, recovery, and relationship patterns with clients.
In sessions she aims for clear plans rather than vague advice. People often leave with a short list of behaviors to try and concrete ways to check progress. She encourages ongoing review of what helps and what needs adjusting.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s priorities. Online sessions use that same focus to let the client lead what they want to address and when to move into practical planning. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches specific exercises to change them; this makes CBT work well over repeated short sessions and homework between meetings. Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on small changes and next steps that produce quick relief, which can be reviewed and adjusted across online appointments.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods based on the person’s goals, current stressors, and preferences. Techniques can be shifted as progress or new challenges appear, so the plan evolves rather than being fixed up front.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current online options before booking. In practice, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter focused check-ins when needed, and remove commute time so work or family breaks are simpler to use. Licensed professionals can use these features to focus more on skill practice and behavioral changes between meetings.
