About
Annie Mays, LMFT, brings two decades of clinical practice to her work in Oregon. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, eating concerns, depression, and LGBT-related issues. Her approach aims to attend to both symptoms and the interpersonal patterns that shape daily life.
Annie offers targeted attention to attachment issues, body image, family of origin concerns, and a range of sexual and relational topics including BDSM, kink, and alternative sex culture. She also works with substance and process addictions, disordered eating, infidelity, postpartum challenges, panic, and self-harm. Those facing midlife transitions, questions of life purpose, or struggles with guilt and shame will find these areas represented in her practice.
She integrates multiple clinical methods to match the needs of each person. Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered principles, Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Therapy, and Internal Family Systems are named tools in her work. The result is an eclectic, tailored framework that prioritizes exploration of story, internal parts, and motivation within the therapeutic process.

Remote options and therapeutic style
Annie uses a mix of Narrative Therapy and Internal Family Systems to explore how life stories and internal parts influence current patterns. Narrative work makes space to examine the meanings attached to events and behaviors, while Internal Family Systems offers a way to identify and work with different internal states in a collaborative manner. Both approaches support reflective exploration rather than directive instruction.
Motivational Interviewing is another tool she employs when addressing ambivalence about change, including work related to substance or process addictions and eating concerns. This approach helps to clarify personal reasons for change and to strengthen internal motivation without pressure.
Online sessions are available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats are used to carry out the same blend of narrative, parts work, and client-centered conversation that Annie adapts to each person during the therapeutic relationship.
