Ann Bodensteiner, MN Psychologist LP3829

Ann Bodensteiner is a Minnesota Psychologist (MN Psychologist LP3829) with 28 years of experience. She has worked in court-related family services and in private practice, helping adults with relationship concerns, parenting matters, and struggles tied to family of origin issues.

She spent two decades working with District Court and Family Services, focusing on divorce, custody, mediation, and conflict resolution. That background shaped how she helps people talk through difficult family transitions and custody-related stress. She also spent many years in private practice seeing individuals and couples for depression, anxiety, and intimacy-related concerns.

Ann integrates practical therapies that help people manage feelings and make different choices. She uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy. Sessions involve talking about patterns, trying small changes, and noticing what matters to the client.

She can include a Catholic or Christian perspective when a client wants faith to be part of the work. For clients who do not want a faith focus, she respects other spiritual views and keeps the work centered on the person’s goals. Ann’s background with court and mediation work also informs how she addresses conflict and co-parenting issues.

People looking to address family roles, communication problems, or long-standing patterns often start by naming concrete goals. From there Ann helps clients sort the next small steps, whether that is changing interactions, managing emotions, or finding ways to cope with loss and life changes.
