About Anne
Anne Marie Briggs is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Hawaii with ten years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, career questions, and major life changes. She also focuses on life purpose, self-love, communication problems, caregiver stress, chronic health concerns, and issues related to pregnancy, postpartum, fertility, and hospice care.
She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people name what feels wrong and try practical steps forward. Sessions commonly involve talking through current struggles, experimenting with new ways of coping, and building clearer plans for work or personal life. Conversations can include looking at relationships, daily routines, and how health or caregiving demands affect mood and goals.
Her background includes helping veterans and people with intellectual or developmental disabilities, and supporting multicultural needs. She offers career and adjustment counseling and helps family members of people with disabilities work through related stress. Her practice emphasizes straightforward problem solving alongside attention to emotional experience.
People who feel stuck after a job change, a health event, or a family transition will find a focus on concrete next steps. She asks practical questions, helps set achievable goals, and checks how those changes feel in day-to-day life. Sessions aim to reduce overwhelm and make choices more manageable rather than promising a single answer.

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Anne Marie Briggs uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to support people dealing with stress, anxiety, life changes, and career concerns. One common approach focuses on practical skills training - learning concrete coping tools, practicing new behaviors, and tracking how those changes affect mood and function. This helps when overwhelm or daily demands make it hard to take the next step.Another approach centers on problem-focused counseling for adjustment and career issues. Sessions break complex transitions into manageable tasks, clarify priorities, and build short-term plans for work or life decisions. That approach is useful for people weighing job changes, caregiving demands, or shifts in health status.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques best match their goals, needs, and preferences, and will adjust methods over time based on what proves useful.
Confirm session formats before booking, since the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week - for example, shorter check-ins can be scheduled during a lunch break, or sessions without video can reduce bandwidth needs. Licensed professionals generally find that online sessions can help keep continuity of care and make steady progress while fitting into everyday life.
