I have worked with Anne for several months, and I cannot thank her enough for the help and expertise she provided each session. I can truly say due to her methods and advice I have really grown as a person and learned how to manage my anxiety and OCD better. My quality of life has improved being able to work with her and have weekly therapy sessions. She handled each session with such compassion and was consistently offering new ideas and things to work on to help me with my problems. She is very adaptable too by understanding who I am as a person, and what things I needed to have the most beneficial sessions. I would highly recommend Anne and I know I will return to continue maintenance on all the progress she has helped me make.

Hi, my name is Ann Bruckelmeyer. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor with 22 years of experience. I've worked in various mental health settings as an employee assistance counselor, crisis interventionist and therapist both inpatient and outpatient for people struggling with mental illness and substance abuse. I've received grief and loss training with Hospice. I also enjoy helping people with relationship issues and anger management.
I incorporate a number of helpful techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Didactical Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Emotional Freedom Technique- EFT Tapping, Somatic mind/body work utilizing a spiritual heart centered meditation approach and have experience with non-violent communication (NVC) whose founder is Dr. Marshall Rosenberg. I value warmth, compassion and an open minded approach in working with individuals. My counseling style and approach is Holistic/Integrative.
My philosophy of counseling is based on the belief that when the heart is healed, everything else tends to follow. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and assist you.
I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
