Ann Stromberg , LISW

Ann Stromberg is an Ohio-based Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) with 12 years of experience supporting people across the lifespan. She has worked in clinical, community, and school settings and brings experience with school-aged clients through older adults. Her caseload has included individuals facing depression, anxiety, grief, anger, behavioral concerns, and major life transitions.

In practice she emphasizes clients' strengths while drawing on cognitive behavioral and solution-focused techniques to set clear, achievable goals. She takes a holistic view, helping people evaluate multiple areas of life to identify what is working and what needs attention. Ann aims to help clients develop practical skills that remain useful after formal therapy ends, prioritizing efficient progress toward each person's goals.

She uses ongoing client feedback to gauge which strategies are helping and when it is appropriate to try different approaches. Valuing the client as the expert on their own life, she focuses on interventions the client finds meaningful and avoids time spent on methods the client does not find useful. Her practice centers on partnership - working with clients to build a more positive, confident outlook and to move beyond current challenges.

Therapeutic approaches for online care and flexible support

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. It is a structured, skills-based approach often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and problem-solving in day-to-day life. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on clients' goals and existing strengths - sessions emphasize small, practical steps that build momentum and create measurable progress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and acceptance techniques that can reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation, which is helpful for stress, anxiety, and managing difficult emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Ann Stromberg works collaboratively with each person and with licensed professionals as needed to determine which methods fit a client's needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts strategies based on ongoing feedback.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, over the phone, via live chat, or through text-based messaging to accommodate different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier for people to access consistent care, practice skills between appointments, and maintain momentum even when life is busy or circumstances change.
