Ann Marie Harty , LCSW

Ann Marie Harty is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 10 years of experience providing individual therapy for adults in Florida and to clients internationally. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, stress, career concerns, grief, family challenges, low self-esteem, compassion fatigue, and life transitions, and she offers particular support for caregivers of older adults and those affected by neurocognitive disorders.

As an LCSW - a licensed clinical social worker trained in assessment and therapeutic intervention - she combines mindfulness techniques, cognitive behavioral strategies, psychodynamic ideas, solution-focused work, and task-centered methods to help clients build skills and move toward their goals. Her approach emphasizes self-determination, encouraging clients to use their strengths while practicing new ways of coping.

She creates a trusting space where people, primarily African Americans and Caribbeans, can tell their stories, confront stigma around mental health, and give themselves permission to pursue healing. That work often includes examining cultural and societal patterns that may contribute to unhelpful behaviors, learning to forgive, and reducing feelings of guilt or shame as clients seek better outcomes and an improved quality of life.

Ann Marie Harty aims to support meaningful change through practical tools, empathetic listening, and collaborative goal-setting tailored to each individual’s needs.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Ann Marie Harty integrates evidence-based methods into online therapy to meet a range of concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, making it useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and practical techniques to reduce reactivity and improve coping with difficult emotions and caregiver stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) emphasizes understanding and expressing emotions to strengthen relationships and address grief, loss, and attachment-related distress.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Ann Marie works with each person to explore which methods feel most helpful based on their goals, life circumstances, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals and include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, connect from different locations, and continue care during life transitions while maintaining consistent therapeutic support.
