About Anne

Anne Combs is an Ohio LPCC with 40 years in behavioral health. She has worked as a therapist, clinical supervisor, and administrator in small and large organizations. She now focuses on seeing people directly, helping them reduce day-to-day stress and find practical solutions.

She helps with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, self-esteem, addictions, relationship and family concerns, grief, parenting, career challenges, and blended family issues. She also supports people facing compassion fatigue and role-related stress. Her work includes people coping with significant mental health needs as well as those seeking help with everyday problems.

Her approach centers on the here and now. She acknowledges the effects of past trauma but emphasizes managing that impact to improve daily life. Sessions tend to be interactive and practical, focused on steps clients can try between meetings. She often combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques with solution-focused methods to break problems into manageable goals.

Anne draws on decades of experience and some executive coaching training to help people improve workplace performance and communication. She pays attention to how people talk and connect, and she uses that to shape concrete strategies for problem solving. Humor and direct conversation are part of how she works when appropriate.

Her style is straightforward and action oriented. She helps clients set clear goals, test small changes, and measure progress. People seeking help with blended household strains, communication problems, or career-related stress may find this practical focus useful.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Client-centered work supports a collaborative tone where the therapist listens and follows the client's priorities. It helps people clarify what matters most and set goals that fit their life.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday problems because it breaks issues into concrete steps to try between sessions.

Solution-focused work aims at quick, achievable changes. Sessions identify a single goal, notice what is already working, and plan small experiments to build on those successes.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has helped in the past, then suggest methods to try. That decision is made together and can change over time as needs shift.

Practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy into a busy schedule and keeping work-related or caregiving commitments from blocking access. Confirm the exact session formats available before booking, since those options are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to schedule regular check-ins and to practice skills between meetings without long travel.
