About Anne
Anne Combs is an Ohio LPCC (Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor) with 40 years of experience in behavioral health. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, and other day-to-day struggles that interfere with work and life.
She spent decades as a therapist, clinical supervisor, and administrator in both small and large behavioral health settings.

Her long career includes helping people with career challenges and with serious mental illness when needed.
Her approach focuses on the present and practical steps a person can take now. Anne acknowledges how past events can shape current patterns, including family of origin issues, but she emphasizes skills and problem solving to reduce current distress. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused methods to help people adjust thoughts, behaviors, and daily routines.
Anne also uses elements of client-centered work, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing when those fit a person’s goals. She has additional experience related to workplace functioning and executive coaching, and will bring that perspective for clients who want help with career or role performance.
Sessions are generally interactive and straightforward. Anne aims to help people set specific goals, try practical strategies between sessions, and build clearer communication and coping skills over time.
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions can fit
Anne frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday problems by teaching practical coping skills and experiments to try between sessions.She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set small, concrete goals and work step-by-step toward them. This approach concentrates on clear, achievable changes and can be helpful when someone wants focused, short-term progress on a specific problem.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Anne will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and what they want to accomplish. She may blend methods and adjust over time as needs evolve.
