Anne-Marie Cline, LCSW

Anne-Marie Cline is a licensed clinical social worker in Hawaii who helps people facing anxiety, stress, relationship struggles, and concerns related to LGBT identities. She meets individuals where they are and focuses on practical steps to reduce distress. Her approach aims to make talking about hard things easier and more direct.

She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Attachment-based ideas guide work on connection and trust in close relationships. Client-centered listening keeps sessions focused on each persons priorities.

Anne-Marie draws on ten years of professional experience across community and clinical settings. That background informs her practical style and familiarity with common life stresses like caregiving strain, body image worries, and addictions. She pays attention to how family history or adoption experiences shape current patterns.

Sessions blend skill-building and reflection. Homework and small experiments are offered when helpful, along with compassionate listening. Anne-Marie aims to help people improve communication, cope with grief and jealousy, and rebuild their sense of self.

People who want straightforward strategies and steady support may find her approach useful. She focuses on clear goals, manageable changes, and strengthening day-to-day coping. Many clients come to her wanting less overwhelm and more balance in relationships and life.

How remote therapy and approach work together

Anne-Marie commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes that reduce anxiety and improve mood. She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how past relationships influence current connection and trust, which can help with communication and intimacy issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their goals and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made. That means trying tools, reviewing what helps, and shifting focus when needed.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video calls let people work face to face when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat or text messaging can fit into a busy day or provide ongoing brief support between sessions.
