Ann Keith

Ann Keith is a licensed clinical social worker who brings 14 years of experience to her practice in New Mexico. She focuses on helping people struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, anger, and major life changes. Ann emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental approach that centers each person’s experience and goals.

Ann uses straightforward conversations to help clients name what feels off and begin practical change. She listens for patterns in relationships and daily habits that feed stress or low mood. Together clients and Ann set small, achievable steps to improve coping and emotional balance.

Her work draws on several therapeutic approaches, including cognitive behavioral techniques and acceptance-based methods, to address troublesome thoughts and increase willingness to act on values. She also uses attachment-informed ideas to look at how early relationship patterns affect current bonds and reactions.

Ann has supported people dealing with relationship concerns, addiction-related struggles, bipolar mood challenges, and issues around caregiving or aging. She pays attention to the practical burdens clients carry and helps prioritize what to change first.

Sessions aim to strengthen communication skills, reduce reactivity, and rebuild self-esteem. Ann helps people facing life transitions, isolation, and family-of-origin difficulties to find clearer direction and more reliable coping. She accepts clients from outside the United States and conducts work in English.

Approaches that shape online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice thoughts without getting stuck in them and focus on actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and making committed life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, targets unhelpful thought patterns and teaches concrete skills to change behaviors and emotional responses. It is often used for anxiety, anger, and low mood.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current ways of relating and reacting. This approach can help people who struggle with closeness, trust, and repeated interpersonal conflicts.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most workable, then adapt methods as needed. Most clients try a mix of techniques until they find what helps them move forward.

Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It can also let people continue therapy if they relocate internationally, since she accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English.
