About Anne
Anne Marie Sales is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in Florida. She brings 24 years of experience helping people who are coping with anxiety, depression, relationship strain, addiction, life transitions, and parenting stress. Her approach is warm and interactive and she aims to help people move toward the goals they set for themselves.
She has worked in adult substance use settings and community mental health, offering individual, family, and group work over the years. In sessions she listens closely, asks practical questions, and helps clients build small steps they can try between meetings. That can include testing new ways to manage stress, practicing different communication moves, or experimenting with daily routines that support mood and focus.
Her methods draw on client-centered principles that emphasize the person’s own strengths and choices. She also uses cognitive behavioral strategies to address unhelpful thinking and solution-focused techniques to set clear, achievable goals. Systemic ideas inform how relationships and patterns shape current difficulties.
People come to her for an array of concerns including grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy issues, sex addiction, bipolar symptoms, ADHD, compassion fatigue, career stress, and anger. She aims for straightforward conversations about what’s working and what needs to change, and collaborates with each person to build realistic plans.
Reaching out can feel hard, and she invites people to take that first step when they are ready. The focus is on practical progress and usable skills that fit into everyday life.
How these approaches translate to online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and strengths. The therapist listens, reflects what she hears, and helps clients choose the next steps that feel right to them. This way of working is helpful for people facing stress, life transitions, or relationship concerns.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood and actions. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to change unhelpful patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping strategies. Solution-focused therapy zeroes in on specific goals and quick steps that move someone toward what they want to see change.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss options and adapt methods to the client’s needs, goals, and preferences so the work feels useful and manageable. That conversation guides whether sessions prioritize listening, skills practice, or short-term goal work.
The therapist’s profile does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when days are tight. It also supports continuity of care when schedules or locations change, while keeping the focus on practical steps people can try between sessions.
