About Ann
Ann Huyghe is a licensed professional counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, and parenting challenges. She brings a direct, compassionate approach. Her style aims to make the first steps feel manageable for a worried parent.
She uses practical conversation to match treatment to each person's needs. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on small changes that add up. Ann tailors the pace so parents can balance therapy with family life and other obligations.
Background and approach
Her work covers a wide range of concerns, including trauma and abuse, anger, depression, grief, and intimacy-related issues. She also supports people dealing with eating and food-related problems, self-esteem, and mood disorders such as bipolar disorder. Additional focus areas include attachment issues, compulsive behaviors, phobias, and social anxiety.
Ann combines several therapeutic approaches to suit different situations. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients define values and tolerate difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Client-centered principles guide respectful, nonjudgmental conversations. With 14 years of experience and an LPC license in Michigan, she has worked with many adults on life transitions and relationship concerns. Sessions are offered in English and arranged to fit each person's schedule.
Taking the step to reach out is often hard, and Ann aims to make that step clearer and more doable.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while taking action that matches their values. Online ACT sessions often include exercises to clarify what matters and small at-home practices to try between meetings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors; in virtual sessions this can mean practicing new ways of thinking and tracking behavior with digital tools or homework. Client-Centered Therapy centers on a respectful, nonjudgmental conversation that helps people feel heard and understood, whether talking by video or messaging.Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical benefits like fitting sessions into a busy parent schedule. Video calls let people keep visual connection and body language. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for short check-ins, flexible communication, or quick problem-solving between sessions.
