About Ann
Ann Hurst, LPCC, helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. She focuses on practical support for day-to-day struggles like panic, obsessive thoughts, and feeling isolated. Her style aims to make therapy feel manageable and direct for someone balancing many demands.
She listens for what matters most to each person and works at a pace that feels right.

Her work draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help clients process difficult experiences and develop concrete tools. This can include learning ways to manage panic attacks, interrupt compulsive patterns, and reduce social anxiety. The goal is steady, practical progress rather than quick fixes.

How evidence-based methods guide online care
Ann uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people build practical skills and process difficult experiences. Two common approaches she draws on are behavioral skills work and trauma-informed processing. Behavioral skills work focuses on teaching specific steps to manage anxiety, panic, or compulsive urges so everyday situations feel less overwhelming. Trauma-informed processing helps people make sense of painful events and reduce the intensity of difficult memories.Finding the right approach is treated as a team effort. She will discuss options with clients, try techniques, and adjust based on what helps most. The therapist and client decide together which methods match the person’s goals and comfort level.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session formats before booking since the profile does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule by removing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins or evening appointments. They also let people use quieter surroundings, opt out of video when needed, or schedule sessions around work and caregiving responsibilities. Licensed professionals tailor the format and pace so therapeutic work fits into real life.
