About Anne

LCSW in Pennsylvania with 20 years' experience, Anne Marie Herwig Ward focuses on parenting and ADHD concerns. She writes directly and works with parents and caregivers who need clear, practical strategies for kids and teens. Sessions center on solving everyday problems and improving day-to-day functioning.

Anne Marie uses straightforward, skills-based methods. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior. Solution-Focused Therapy is used to set small, achievable steps that build momentum. Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to try different approaches.

Her approach is conversational and task-oriented. She talks through specific situations, helps craft behavior plans, and practices techniques that can be used at home or school. Sessions often focus on immediate goals such as managing impulsivity, reducing social anxiety, or improving routines for attention and learning.

Anne Marie also supports work on life purpose and self-regard. Those conversations lean on reflective questions and short exercises that clarify values and daily habits. She helps clients translate insights into concrete next steps.

Over twenty years in practice have shaped a pragmatic style. She emphasizes what parents and young people can try between meetings. For new clients, the first sessions typically review the current challenges and identify one or two small goals to work on together.

How her approaches fit into online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters to the client. The therapist reflects concerns back, helps clarify priorities, and follows the client's pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) emphasizes practical skills to change thinking and behavior. Online CBT sessions typically include short exercises, homework, and step-by-step plans to address issues like anxiety or attention challenges.

Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will review goals, try methods that fit the client's needs, and adjust the plan based on what works. Clients and the therapist decide together which strategies to keep using and which to change.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, shorten travel time, and allow focused check-ins between other commitments. They also allow practicing techniques in real daily contexts and following up with brief exercises between meetings.
