Anne Marie Sales, LMFT

Anne Marie Sales is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in Florida. She brings 24 years of clinical experience supporting people who face stress, anxiety, relationship strain, depression, trauma and abuse, and struggles with substance use and sex addiction. She aims to make the first step feel manageable and respectful of each persons pace.

Her approach is warm and interactive. She listens first to understand what matters most, then helps people set small, practical goals. Sessions focus on clear conversation and actions you can try between meetings. She believes people can learn new patterns and build skills over time.

Anne Marie has worked across individual, family, and group settings in community mental health and substance use services. That background shapes how she blends problem-solving with attention to relationships and everyday routines. She uses techniques from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapy, and systemic therapy as fit the situation.

In sessions she offers a mix of talk and practical planning. She helps people sort priorities, practice new coping steps, and track progress toward goals. Work may include addressing low self-esteem, parenting strain, career stress, grief, anger, ADHD challenges, or compassion fatigue.

If someone wants to start, she guides them through a short matching process and scheduling. Her style is steady and collaborative, aimed at helping people move forward one step at a time.

How therapy approaches shape online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting working relationship. It puts the clients goals and experience at the center and helps people find their own solutions to problems. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it often helps with anxiety, depression, and coping skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will help you choose methods based on your needs, goals, and preferences. That choice is collaborative and can change over time as progress is tracked and new issues come up.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel and allowing quicker check-ins during a workday or between errands. Some formats use less bandwidth or do not require video, which can be useful when a shorter or lower-tech meeting is needed. Licensed professionals can adapt client-centered and CBT techniques to work well in remote sessions, focusing on goal-setting, skill practice, and step-by-step plans that carry into everyday life.
