About Anne
Anne Marie Herwig Ward is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, practicing in Pennsylvania with 20 years of experience. She focuses on parenting concerns and ADHD, and also helps people address impulsivity, social anxiety and phobia, self-love, and questions about life purpose.
She works with parents who are feeling stuck by behavior challenges or transitions. She also supports individuals navigating attention difficulties and social fear. Sessions are practical and goal-focused, with attention to everyday routines and relationships.
Her approach mixes familiar therapy methods in straightforward ways. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes. Solution-Focused Therapy helps identify immediate steps that make a difference right away. Client-Centered Therapy provides space for people to speak and be heard while making choices about their next moves.
In sessions she helps parents create concrete strategies for managing tricky moments. For people with ADHD she will talk through organization, impulse control, and ways to adapt daily life. When someone is wrestling with life purpose or self-worth, she helps clarify values and possible next steps rather than offering quick fixes.
Her practice emphasizes practical skills, short-term goals, and clear conversation about what to try between sessions. People who want to get started complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to discuss next steps.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and helping people make choices that fit their lives. In online sessions this means time to talk through what matters and to decide on next steps together. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down patterns of thinking and behavior into clear experiments and exercises. Online sessions can focus on learning these skills and planning small changes to try between meetings.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will work collaboratively to identify which methods fit a person’s needs and goals. That may mean combining CBT with solution-focused steps or using client-centered conversation to set priorities for action.
The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Online meetings can make it easier to have shorter check-ins, to schedule around school or work, and to practice new skills in everyday settings. Confirm the current session formats before booking so you know which options she offers and can plan what works best for your routine.
