About Ann
LICSW in the District of Columbia with 10 years of practice experience, Ann Chauvin focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, and depression. She meets people coming through hard changes and helps them take practical steps toward feeling more able to cope. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused, with space to talk about emotions and real-life problems.
Ann aims to lower immediate distress by identifying what’s most urgent and workable. She listens for patterns that keep problems cycling and helps clients try different responses. Conversations often include short-term strategies to manage symptoms and clearer plans for longer-term change.
Her work also addresses relationship strain, grief, anger, and self-esteem concerns. She supports people dealing with trauma, bipolar mood challenges, and the specific stresses sometimes faced by LGBT people. Addictions and compassion fatigue are additional areas she helps clients talk through.
Ann uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and focuses on what fits each person’s goals. She encourages practical experiments between sessions and checks progress regularly. The aim is to build skills people can use outside the meeting time.
People who prefer a straightforward, problem-solving approach tend to find this style helpful. Ann asks clear questions, offers concrete suggestions, and works with clients to set achievable next steps. If you want to explore session options, confirm the available formats before booking.

How her methods translate to remote sessions
Ann uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address common concerns like anxiety, depression, and addiction. Evidence-based approaches mean practical methods that target symptoms and behavior; for example, short-term skills to reduce anxiety and behavioral steps to interrupt addictive patterns. These approaches focus on specific changes someone can try between sessions and on tracking what helps.She also works with problems related to trauma and mood conditions by helping clients recognize recurring thoughts and test different responses. That work involves breaking down big problems into smaller tasks and checking in on progress week to week. The therapist and client collaborate to choose which methods to try based on needs, goals, and personal preferences rather than using the same plan for everyone.
Confirm the session formats available before booking, as the biography does not list specific online options. Many people find remote sessions easier to fit into a workday, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove commute time so more consistent appointments are possible. If you want to know whether phone or video sessions are offered, please check the current session options when scheduling.
