AnnMarie Lehrer, LPC

AnnMarie Lehrer is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship strain. She works with adults and teens to boost confidence, improve parenting, and build everyday coping skills. Her style is straightforward and supportive, focused on practical steps clients can use right away.

She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) along with other approaches to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and client-centered techniques appear in her work to support values-driven choices and to center each person's own goals. She also draws on skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy when those tools match a person's needs.

In sessions she helps people with communication problems, time management, and decision making. She also addresses issues like attachment concerns, body image, caregiver stress, guilt and shame, and isolation. Practical strategies and short-term goals are common parts of her plans.

AnnMarie has six years of counseling experience in Georgia as an LPC. She believes clients are the experts on their lives and aims to create a respectful, solution-oriented space. Parents will find clear, plain guidance for parenting strain and life transitions.

Therapy typically focuses on small, steady steps. AnnMarie supports people through recovery challenges, pregnancy and childbirth concerns, divorce or separation stress, and exploring life purpose. Sessions emphasize usable tools people can practice between appointments.

Practical approaches for online therapy

AnnMarie frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different actions. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress because it focuses on clear steps and skills to change patterns that get in the way of daily functioning.

She also incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify what matters to them and take action in line with those values even when feelings are difficult. Client-Centered Therapy is another influence, emphasizing a respectful, nonjudgmental stance that follows the person's own pace and priorities.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client discuss goals, try methods, and adjust based on what helps most. AnnMarie aims to match techniques to each person's needs rather than using a single fixed method.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for longer sessions and face-to-face interaction, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can fit brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep working on goals from different locations.
