Anne Marie Briggs, LMHC

Anne Marie Briggs is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in Hawaii who helps people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and career questions. She focuses on coping with life changes and offers coaching to clarify goals and next steps. Her work often touches on parenting transitions, fertility and postpartum concerns, and challenges tied to chronic illness or caregiving.

She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and keeps sessions practical and down-to-earth. Conversations focus on improving communication, building self-love, and finding a clearer sense of life purpose. The emphasis is on small, actionable steps clients can try between sessions.

Briggs has about 10 years of experience working with diverse people, including veterans and those with disabilities. Her practice is informed by multicultural sensitivity and attention to how cultural background affects stress and coping. She also supports people facing hospice and end-of-life decisions or long-term health issues.

In sessions she aims to listen first, then tailor strategies to each person’s needs. That might include exploring career adjustments, setting boundaries, or practicing self-compassion exercises. Her approach is collaborative and paced to match how quickly a client wants to move.

To begin, clients use a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to therapist availability. The site’s subscription model is used for session billing and can be canceled at any time.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online therapy

Many of the evidence-based therapeutic techniques Anne Marie uses focus on clear skills and brief exercises that people can practice between sessions. For example, cognitive-behavioral style strategies involve tracking thoughts and trying small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and improve mood. These approaches help when stress, self-criticism, or workplace pressure get in the way of daily functioning.

She also draws on practical coaching methods that break larger goals into manageable steps and prioritize quick, measurable tasks. Coaching-style work supports career transitions, life-purpose exploration, and building routines when health or caregiving responsibilities make consistent change harder.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through your concerns, goals, and preferences and then try methods that fit your situation. If something isn’t working, she adapts the plan so it better matches what you need.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, cut out travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some clients find remote sessions helpful for maintaining continuity during health fluctuations or caregiving demands, while others prefer in-person meetings when possible.
