Therapeutic Approaches and Online Sessions

Anne Marie Herwig Ward uses several established approaches to guide online work. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes understanding each person s perspective and building a collaborative relationship that supports growth; it is especially helpful for clients seeking acceptance and clarity about their goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and is often used for anxiety, ADHD-related challenges, and mood regulation. Motivational Interviewing helps people resolve mixed feelings and find internal motivation for change, which can be useful for families and individuals working on behavior changes or new routines.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Anne Marie works collaboratively with clients to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts strategies over time as progress unfolds. Clients are active partners in shaping their plan.

Online therapy with Anne Marie is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility and access. These options make it possible to connect from different settings and schedules, allowing therapy to fit into busy family lives while maintaining continuity of care with licensed professionals and therapists.
