About Ann
Ann Soule is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LCPC) based in Maine. She brings 19 years of experience working with people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, grief, depression, anger, and struggles with self-esteem. Ann aims for straightforward, practical support that helps people manage daily life and move toward clearer goals.
She draws on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy to shape sessions. Ann often addresses the patterns that keep people stuck, including codependency, communication problems, and unhealthy coping with substances or money.
Background and approach
Her background includes long experience in opioid treatment programs and supporting people through addiction and recovery-related challenges. In sessions she focuses on realistic steps clients can try between meetings. That might mean testing a new way to respond to anger, practicing skills for anxiety, or setting a small goal around finances or relationships.
She values harm reduction and meeting people where they are rather than pushing one rigid path. Ann also supports people dealing with midlife changes, divorce or separation, forgiving themselves, and processing grief or past trauma. She uses a mix of techniques - sometimes solution-focused coaching, sometimes trauma-focused strategies - chosen to fit the person and the moment.
Her style is down-to-earth and encouraging. She emphasizes celebrating progress, even small wins, and works side-by-side with clients as they rebuild routines and coping skills.

Therapeutic approaches and what online work looks like
Ann uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and problems that respond to clear skill practice such as managing triggers or mood.She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change. This approach focuses on exploring readiness and building confidence, which is often helpful for substance issues, addictions, and stages of recovery.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Ann will talk with each person about goals, strengths, and preferences and adapt methods over time. Sessions may blend skill practice, brief coaching, or trauma-focused work depending on what the person needs.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to work together. Video calls let people meet face-to-face for skill demonstrations and deeper conversation. Phone sessions are an option when bandwidth or camera use is difficult. Live chat or text-based messaging can be used for shorter check-ins, journaling-style updates, or pacing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to try different formats as needs change.
