About Anne

Anne Marie Sales is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Florida who helps people manage stress, anger, anxiety, and relationship struggles. She works with concerns like depression, parenting strain, addiction and trauma, and she also supports people dealing with career stress, ADHD, and sex addiction. Her tone is direct and practical when meeting someone for the first time.

With 24 years of experience, she brings a steady, interactive approach to sessions. Conversations focus on what matters most to the client and move toward small, achievable steps. She offers individual work as well as group and family methods when appropriate, aiming to help people build skills that fit daily life.

Her methods draw from client-centered practice, cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused work, and systemic thinking. That means sessions may include exploring personal goals, trying specific strategies to change unhelpful thoughts or habits, and looking at patterns in relationships that affect wellbeing.

Clients can expect a warm and engaged clinician who balances listening with practical planning. Therapy often mixes talk with clear action steps designed for real-world use. The focus is on helping people make steady progress toward the changes they want.

Anne Marie prioritizes collaboration - she and the client decide together what to try and when to adjust the plan. She encourages people to start with small goals and build from there, step by step.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on the client's perspective and priorities. The therapist listens deeply and follows the client's lead, helping them name goals and decide what to work on. This approach helps when someone needs validation and a clear plan for next steps.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, uses practical exercises to change thoughts and behaviors that cause distress. Sessions may include trying new coping strategies, tracking patterns, and testing small behavioral changes to reduce anxiety, anger, or depressive symptoms.

Solution-focused therapy looks for quick, concrete steps that move a person toward their goals. It emphasizes strengths and immediate actions that can be tried between sessions to create momentum.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about concerns, goals, and preferences and then recommend which methods to try. They adjust the plan together as progress is made.

The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make scheduling easier and help sessions fit around school, work, or home life. It can also allow shorter check-ins or regular weekly therapy without long travel, helping clients maintain steady progress.
