About AnnMarie
AnnMarie Lehrer is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns.

She emphasizes the client's strengths and personal knowledge. Sessions focus on clear goals and skills that can be practiced between meetings.
Background and approach
AnnMarie listens first, then helps build plans for better communication, time management, and decision making. Her work often includes tools from cognitive behavioral approaches to change patterns of thinking and behavior. She also draws on mindfulness and acceptance methods to reduce the hold of negative thoughts and intense emotions.
Emotion-focused techniques help improve connection and understanding in close relationships. AnnMarie has six years of clinical experience and has supported people facing addiction and recovery concerns. She pays attention to practical problems like organization and impulsivity as well as deeper issues such as guilt, shame, and life purpose.
In sessions she uses straightforward language and short-term strategies when those fit, while also creating space for longer emotional work. The aim is to leave each session with something usable for the week ahead.
Approach and online therapy options
AnnMarie integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in straightforward ways. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going, which can help with anxiety, depression, and motivation. ACT emphasizes values and small actions - it helps people move toward what matters even when hard thoughts or feelings remain.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions warm and focused on each person's perspective. That approach prioritizes listening, empathy, and collaboration so goals emerge from what matters most to the client. Together the therapist and client decide which mix of methods fits the situation and goals.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let clients send updates or work through moments between scheduled sessions. These options support flexible scheduling and different ways of engaging with the work.
