Ann Stancil

Ann Stancil is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Indiana who aims to help people steady their lives when stress, anxiety, grief, or major changes feel overwhelming. She connects with people who want practical help for mood swings, relationship struggles, addiction concerns, parenting strain, and the aftermath of trauma. Ann writes plainly and listens without judgment so people can speak freely about what matters most to them.

She trained at Indiana University Northwest and has 17 years of clinical experience working in behavioral health. Over that time she has worked with people across the lifespan, from pediatric to geriatric ages, and has supported those living with bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety, personality challenges, and grief. Her background includes long-term clinical work in a behavioral health center where she provided ongoing care to diverse clients.

Ann uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person’s lead and build understanding together. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking patterns, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to teach emotion regulation and coping tools. Sessions focus on concrete steps people can try between meetings.

She emphasizes being nonjudgmental and open minded about race, ethnicity, age, gender, sexuality, religion, and politics. Ann encourages people to bring their whole experience to sessions so they can work toward clearer goals and renewed hope.

Practical concerns like daily stress, addiction, intimacy, parenting pressures, and multicultural issues are part of her work. People who want a steady, respectful space to sort through problems often find this approach useful.
