Ann Stromberg , LISW

Ann Stromberg is an Ohio Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) with 12 years of experience working with people across the lifespan, from school-aged children to older adults. She has practiced in clinical, community, and school settings and has supported individuals facing depression, anxiety, grief, anger, life transitions, and behavioral concerns. Ann draws on a strength-based orientation while integrating cognitive behavioral and solution-focused techniques to help clients make meaningful, practical changes.

Her approach is holistic, inviting clients to examine all areas of life to identify what is going well and where challenges lie. She aims to help clients meet their goals in an efficient timeframe while teaching skills that remain useful after therapy ends. Ann uses ongoing feedback from clients to evaluate which strategies are effective and when to try new methods. She trusts that each person understands themselves best and collaborates to find strategies that feel useful, avoiding interventions the client does not find helpful.

Ann partners with people to build a more positive, confident outlook and to move beyond current obstacles, focusing on practical tools and realistic steps that promote lasting improvement.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Ann Stromberg

Ann Stromberg commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy as part of her clinical work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and building psychological flexibility - it helps people move toward what matters even when difficult thoughts or feelings arise. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) examines how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to shift patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness Therapy cultivates present-moment awareness and nonreactive attention, which can reduce reactivity to stress and support emotional regulation.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Ann works with clients to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, and she adjusts methods as progress and feedback indicate. The selection of techniques is guided by each person’s needs rather than a one-size-fits-all model.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options let people connect with licensed professionals and therapists from convenient locations and on schedules that fit daily life, making it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
