About Ann
Ann Hurst is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) who helps people facing anxiety, stress, depression, and trauma. She focuses on practical ways to manage panic, obsessive thoughts, and the daily strain of caregiving or chronic illness. Ann writes and speaks plainly in sessions so people leave with clear next steps.
Her style is calm and respectful. She offers a nonjudgmental space where clients go at their own pace. Conversations center on real problems and usable skills rather than jargon or long lectures.
Ann draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people build coping tools and process hard experiences. That work can include learning to interrupt panic attacks, reduce compulsive thinking, and handle guilt or shame. She also supports people facing life transitions, grief, and questions about life purpose.
With 18 years of experience, Ann brings steady clinical experience to everyday concerns. She mentions work with people affected by cancer, chronic pain, and veteran and armed forces issues. Her approach aims to be practical, respectful, and focused on what matters most to each person.
Sessions are conducted in English and she practices in Ohio as an OH LPCC. If someone is ready to begin, she asks them to start with the site matching process and schedule according to availability.
How evidence-based techniques translate to online care
Ann uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills people can practice between sessions. One approach teaches specific strategies to manage panic and anxiety so a person can interrupt a panic attack and reduce worry over time. Another approach concentrates on changing unhelpful thinking and behaviors to relieve depressive symptoms and obsessive-compulsive patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals and daily life. That plan can be adjusted as progress is made and new challenges come up.
Confirm current session options before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use quieter surroundings or avoid camera use when preferred. Licensed professionals can help tailor session length and frequency to match what works best for an individual's routine and needs.
