AnnMarie Lehrer, LPC

AnnMarie Lehrer, LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor), is a Georgia-based therapist who works with teens and adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and parenting concerns. She supports clients who want to build motivation, self-esteem, and confidence while addressing everyday skills like communication, time management, decision making, and organization. AnnMarie has also provided care for people navigating addiction and recovery, applying practical strategies to help clients move forward.

She approaches therapy from a strengths-based, client-centered perspective, viewing each person as the expert on their own life. AnnMarie aims to create a collaborative space where clients set goals, try new skills, and develop greater resilience. Taking the step to pursue a more fulfilling life requires courage, and she offers steady encouragement and guidance throughout the process. As a licensed counselor with six years of experience, AnnMarie combines evidence-informed techniques with a supportive stance to help clients address symptoms, improve relationships, and increase self-compassion.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

AnnMarie integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and client-centered principles into her online practice. ACT focuses on helping people clarify their values and take meaningful action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present, which can be useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. CBT looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical strategies to reduce symptoms and change unhelpful patterns, often applied for anxiety and depression. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy, listening, and the client’s own pace, creating a collaborative environment that supports self-exploration and growth.

Finding the right approach is part of the work; AnnMarie will collaborate with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques based on feedback and progress so therapy remains practical and personally relevant.

Online therapy with AnnMarie can take place by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or those who prefer remote care. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, try new skills between sessions, and connect with a licensed professional from different settings.
