About Anne
Anne Marie Herwig Ward is a Pennsylvania LCSW with 20 years of clinical experience. She lists parenting and ADHD among her main focuses and also notes work related to impulsivity, self-love, life purpose, and social anxiety and phobia.
She helps parents and young people handle common parenting challenges and the daily effects of ADHD. Sessions are straightforward and practical. Conversations aim to identify what is getting in the way and what can be tried next.
Her approach draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered work, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy. That means she uses short-term goal setting, practical skill-building, and collaborative problem solving to address behavior and thinking patterns that cause stress.
Anne Marie also brings experience working with learning struggles and transitions that affect family life. She describes the work as developing strategies together so caregivers and children can try different solutions at home and school.
Over two decades she has supported many people through changes that feel overwhelming at first. Sessions tend to focus on clear steps and manageable practices rather than long explanations. Readers should confirm current session options before booking so they know how meetings will be arranged.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client. It helps when someone needs support to talk through feelings and decide next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) works on specific thoughts and behaviors; sessions often include short exercises and practical homework to try between meetings.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to decide which methods fit the goals and preferences. That choice can change as progress is made and new priorities appear.
Confirm the available session options before booking so you know how meetings are run. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let parents join from a convenient location and use digital tools for worksheets and skill practice. Licensed professionals, including this LCSW, use these approaches to make sessions practical and applicable to everyday life.
