About Ann
Ann Keith is a licensed clinical social worker who centers her work on Emotionally-Focused Therapy and related approaches. She draws on 14 years of experience to help people manage anxiety, depression, grief, and major life changes. Her manner is straightforward and warm, aimed at making hard conversations easier to start.
She uses emotion-focused work to help people name and shift painful patterns in close relationships and personal life. That often looks like noticing strong feelings, tracking what they trigger, and trying small changes in how someone responds.
Background and approach
She also blends cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify personal values. Sessions are practical and collaborative. She listens for the issues that feel most urgent, then helps create short-term steps clients can try between meetings.
For some people that means learning ways to calm anxiety, for others it means rebuilding trust after a loss or setback. Ann has worked with a wide range of concerns including addiction, trauma and abuse, bipolar mood challenges, anger, self-esteem, and family-of-origin problems. She also supports people facing aging and caregiver stress, divorce, and end-of-life topics.
She practices as an LCSW licensed in Texas and New Mexico and works with people across New Mexico. Sessions are offered in English and can be held by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling through the site.

Online support
How emotion-focused and behavioral work translate online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people recognize and name strong emotions and how those feelings shape their reactions. Online sessions can guide someone to notice patterns in relationships and try new ways of responding. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioral changes to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels useful in session, then choose techniques that match those needs. This is a collaborative process where adjustments are made over time based on what helps most.
Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging makes it easier to fit therapy into real life. Video works well for in-depth conversation and nonverbal cues. Phone calls can be a good option when bandwidth or being on camera is challenging. Live chat and text messaging suit brief check-ins, coping reminders, or ongoing support between longer sessions.
