Ann Koch, LCSW, is a licensed clinical social worker in North Carolina who believes that a kind, trusting relationship is the foundation of meaningful therapy. With 15 years of experience, she has supported children, teens, and adults in a variety of settings, and she brings particular focus to teens, young adults, and women’s issues. As the mother of three adult children in their 20s who are launching into the world, she understands how complex and emotional life transitions can be for individuals and families alike.
Her work is centered on creating a supportive space where clients can move toward healing and renewed hope. Ann helps individuals navigate concerns such as anxiety, depression, mood dysregulation, ADHD, and major life changes, with an emphasis on pursuing not only symptom relief but also deeper, lasting growth. She aims to help clients feel more empowered, grounded, and whole as they build skills and insight that support meaningful change.
Ann’s practice is rooted in evidence-based therapeutic techniques. She draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and a Family Systems approach, all through a trauma-informed lens. She also emphasizes the mind-body connection and takes a holistic approach that may include mindfulness practices and guided visualizations. With warmth, humor, and a focus on connection and belonging, she works to create an environment that supports personal growth and forward movement.
Ann Koch integrates evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help clients work through concerns like anxiety, mood challenges, and life transitions in practical, steady ways. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on recognizing unhelpful thought patterns and building coping skills that support healthier responses to stress, worry, and difficult emotions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients relate differently to painful thoughts and feelings while taking steps toward what matters most, which can be especially useful during periods of change or when feeling stuck. She also draws from a Family Systems approach, looking at how relationship patterns and roles can shape emotions and behavior, and she applies a trauma-informed lens to support a sense of stability and choice in the work.
Because people and situations are different, identifying the right approach is part of the therapy process. Ann collaborates with clients to understand goals, preferences, and what has or has not worked before, then adjusts strategies accordingly over time.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. This range of options can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, stay consistent during travel or transitions, and choose the format that feels most comfortable in the moment.
