About Ann
Ann DePoole is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) practicing in Arizona with 14 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, mood disorders, trauma, grief, relationship and family concerns, and related issues such as ADHD and self-esteem. Ann’s background includes helping people adjust after major life changes and manage co-occurring mental health and substance concerns.
Ann uses a mix of practical talking therapies to help people make changes. She draws on cognitive behavioral strategies to challenge unhelpful thoughts and on dialectical behavior ideas to teach emotional regulation and distress tolerance. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is part of her approach when values-based choices matter.
Her training and years in practice include work with trauma and substance misuse, and she uses motivational interviewing to support readiness for change. She favors straightforward conversations about coping skills, daily routines, and small steps that can reduce stress and improve functioning. Sessions focus on problem solving, emotion management, and clearer communication.
People often come to Ann for help with blended family issues, parenting strain, or loyalty conflicts after remarriage. She talks through communication patterns and practical household challenges rather than offering legal or custody advice. Her tone is direct and practical, aimed at helping adults find workable adjustments.
Ann sees clients in Arizona and conducts work in English. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session through the online process on the site.
How her approaches translate to online work
Ann commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in session. ACT helps people notice tough thoughts and focus on values-based actions rather than getting stuck in unhelpful thinking. CBT breaks down problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and gives step-by-step strategies to change patterns that cause distress.She also draws on Attachment-Based ideas to look at how early relationship patterns affect current trust and closeness. That approach helps when recurring relationship or intimacy-related issues cause repeated conflict or avoidance. Deciding which approach to use is collaborative; the therapist and client discuss goals and pick methods that fit the person’s situation and preferences.
The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Licensed professionals can use the same CBT, ACT, and attachment tools in remote sessions to work on emotion regulation, communication, and day-to-day coping without promising a particular service.
