Evidence-Based Support, Delivered Online
Ann Niebuhr, LPCC, draws from evidence-based therapeutic techniques and experience across different ages and concerns. One approach reflected in her background is DBT skills work, which focuses on practical tools for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving relationships - often helpful when stress, anxiety, or addictive patterns feel hard to control.She also has additional training in ERP for OCD. ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention) helps people gradually face feared thoughts or situations while practicing new responses, which can be useful for stepping out of cycles of obsessions and compulsions. Ann’s work is also informed by attachment theory within family systems, supporting clients in understanding how early relationships and family patterns can influence present-day coping and connection.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Ann collaborates with clients to clarify goals, identify what is most urgent, and choose strategies that fit their needs and preferences, adjusting over time as things change.
Online therapy makes that support more accessible and flexible. Clients can meet through video calls or phone sessions, or use live chat and text-based messaging for ongoing check-ins and reflection between sessions.
