About Ann
Ann Keith is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 14 years of practice in Texas and New Mexico. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns, addictions, and coping with major life changes. Ann works with people who are facing anger, low self-esteem, bipolar mood issues, and the fallout from trauma and abuse. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients.
Ann uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). She also draws on attachment-based and client-centered approaches to help people name painful feelings and understand patterns that keep reoccurring. In session she listens for emotional themes and helps people notice how feelings shape choices and behavior.
Typical topics she addresses include abandonment, attachment struggles, caregiver stress, family of origin problems, communication breakdowns, and codependency. She also supports people through hospice and end-of-life concerns, aging issues, midlife transitions, and finding life purpose. Ann works on practical coping skills as well as emotional awareness.
Her work with grief and loss emphasizes pacing and tolerating hard feelings while keeping daily life manageable. For anxiety and depression she uses goal-focused steps from CBT and values-based work from ACT. The overall aim is to increase clarity about what matters and to build steady routines that help people function day to day.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Session costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
How Ann’s approaches translate to online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and working with strong emotions and the interaction patterns tied to them. It helps people put words to feelings that are hard to name and notice how those emotions shape behavior.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts without having to change them immediately and clarifying personal values to guide action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviors and uses practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns.
Choosing a therapeutic approach is a collaborative step. Ann will work with each person to see which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. She often blends elements from EFT, ACT and CBT rather than using one single method.
