About Anne
Anne Combs, LPCC, brings 40 years of behavioral health experience to her work with people who are managing stress, anxiety, depression, parenting concerns, relationship struggles, addiction, grief, or major life changes. She focuses on practical steps that make daily life easier. Her style is warm and interactive and she often uses humor to ease tension and open conversation.
She spent decades as a therapist, clinical supervisor, and administrator in a variety of behavioral health settings.
Background and approach
She trained in graduate school in West Virginia and holds an Ohio LPCC license. More recently she has returned to direct work with people who want relief from ongoing problems and solutions that fit their lives. In sessions she concentrates on the here and now.
She acknowledges how past trauma shapes present life but focuses on ways to manage that impact so a person can function better day to day. She also draws on experience helping people handle career challenges and improve workplace success when that is a goal. Her approach blends practical problem solving with thoughtful listening.
She uses techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused models to set clear goals and practice new skills. She also uses client-centered and mindfulness ideas to respect each person’s pace and priorities. People who work with her can expect straightforward conversation, concrete strategies, and an emphasis on small, achievable changes.
She offers sessions in English and provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs.

Practical approaches you can use online
Anne often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT gives concrete tools for managing anxiety, depression, stress, and everyday problems by breaking big issues into manageable steps.She also uses Solution-Focused techniques that set clear, short-term goals and build on small successes. This approach can be effective for parents and professionals who want fast, practical changes and steps they can try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and she works collaboratively to do that. Together the person and therapist review goals, try methods, and adapt the plan based on what helps most. The aim is to match approach and pace to individual needs and preferences rather than to follow a single method.
Online work is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Video is useful when visual cues matter, phone calls work well when bandwidth is low or during a break at work, and chat or messaging can suit short check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around parenting, job hours, and daily life.
