About Ann
Ann Koch is a licensed clinical social worker with 15 years of experience who helps people manage stress, anger, anxiety, and major life changes. She focuses on building a trusting, down-to-earth relationship where people feel heard and understood. Her manner is warm and straightforward, aimed at making hard conversations easier to have.
She helps people who struggle with low self-esteem, panic and mood concerns, trauma and abuse, and feelings of isolation.
Background and approach
Ann pays attention to patterns in relationships and communication that can keep problems going. She also supports those dealing with guilt, shame, impulsivity, and women’s issues. Her work draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that include cognitive and acceptance-oriented methods.
She uses practical tools like mindfulness and guided imagery to connect body and mind. Sessions tend to focus on concrete skills, clearer thinking, and small steps that add up over time. Ann describes her approach as trauma-informed and relational.
She aims to help clients feel more grounded, less reactive, and better able to make decisions that fit their values. Meetings are collaborative, with treatment shaped to each person’s goals and daily life. She practices from North Carolina and offers several remote formats to suit busy schedules.

What Ann works with
Everything Ann lists, in the therapist's own terms. Anger is the reason this directory exists; the rest tells you what usually sits alongside it in Ann's practice.
Practical therapy methods for online care
Ann often uses cognitive techniques that look at unhelpful thinking and teach clearer, more helpful ways to interpret situations. These tools can reduce anxiety, help with anger responses, and change behaviors that cause problems. Acceptance-oriented work helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed, and it supports choosing actions that match personal values rather than reacting automatically.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to shape sessions around their goals, daily routines, and what feels most useful in practice. This means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the focus as needed.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful for longer talks and visual exercises, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be good for quick check-ins, and messaging supports brief updates or ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to get consistent support while balancing family, work, and other obligations.
