About Ann
Ann Gould is an Alabama Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 13 years of clinical experience. She works with people who are managing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. She also supports concerns such as abandonment, blended family issues, caregiver stress, codependency, communication problems, and challenges after divorce or separation.
She talks with clients in clear, straightforward terms and treats them as the expert on their own story. Sessions focus on identifying practical steps a person can try between meetings. Ann encourages active problem solving and helps people notice strengths they already have.
Her background includes long term clinical work in community and outpatient settings. That experience shaped her approach to trauma, crisis response, and ongoing mood concerns. She has worked with clients facing cancer or chronic caregiving stress and with first responder issues.
In sessions she pays attention to how everyday routines, relationships, and thinking patterns affect mood and stress. She helps people break problems into smaller, manageable tasks. Ann uses evidence-based techniques aimed at coping skills, emotional regulation, and clearer communication.
People who feel stuck after a job change, breakup, health problem, or other disruption often come for help with next steps. Her practice supports people age 13 to 65. To start the process she asks prospective clients to complete an initial matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How Ann uses evidence-based techniques in online sessions
Ann works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on concrete skills and problem solving. Cognitive approaches help people notice and test unhelpful thoughts, which can lower anxiety and lift mood. Behavioral techniques focus on small, practical actions that rebuild routine and confidence after disruption.She also uses trauma-informed methods that prioritize safety and stability, helping clients manage strong emotions and reduce reactivity. Those approaches aim to strengthen emotional regulation and improve daily functioning after abuse, loss, or other trauma-related stress.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. Ann treats the choice of methods as collaborative and adjusts them to fit a person's goals, needs, and preferences. She will review what helps and what does not, and make changes together as therapy progresses.

In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They can also let people choose whether to use video or audio depending on bandwidth and comfort, helping therapy fit into everyday life.
