About Ann

Ann Hurst is an Ohio LPCC with 18 years of clinical experience who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, parenting concerns, depression, and life changes. She works with people coping with isolation, questions about life purpose, and the practical fallout of major transitions.

She supports those facing panic, obsessive-compulsive patterns, social anxiety, grief, guilt, and forgiveness. Her caseload has included people dealing with workplace stress, chronic pain or illness, caregiver strain, and challenges related to military and veteran experiences.

Ann uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to build coping skills and process difficult experiences. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear strategies rather than vague promises. She aims to help people reduce symptoms that interfere with daily life and clarify what matters to them.

Her style is respectful and nonjudgmental. People who prefer straightforward conversation about problems and practical coping tools may find this approach helpful. She pays attention to values and goals when planning work together.

Ann maintains a statewide Ohio LPCC credential. She offers services in English and does not work with international clients. To begin, people complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site's matching flow.

How her therapeutic approaches fit remote work

Ann draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills and processing. One common approach she uses teaches concrete coping skills for anxiety and panic - breathing, grounding, and stepwise behavior changes that reduce immediate distress. This approach helps when symptoms spike and people need practical ways to regain control.

Another strand of her work attends to processing trauma and painful life events. That work involves pacing exposure to difficult memories and building capacity to tolerate emotion, which can reduce avoidance and shame over time. This method is often paired with skill-building so people have tools for hard moments.

She views finding the right approach as a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences in early sessions and adjust methods based on what helps most. Clients participate in choosing techniques and tracking progress together.

Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, keep appointments when travel is difficult, or shorten check-ins when a brief touch-in is needed. Licensed professionals often adapt activities for a virtual setting so practical skills and trauma processing can continue without disruption.
