About Anne
Anne Rufiange is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in Florida with 25 years of experience. She focuses on practical help for parents and adults who are dealing with addiction, anger, and relationship strain. Her style aims to be respectful and direct so people can start making useful changes soon.
She helps people manage addictions and the emotional fallout those problems cause in daily life. She supports people facing conflict at home and offers ways to improve communication.
Background and approach
She also assists people who want to work on anger control and reduce its impact on relationships. Anne adapts conversations and plans to each person's needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. That means sessions focus on clear goals and steps you can try between meetings.
She emphasizes practical tools and steady progress over time. She also has experience helping individuals who have used abusive behaviors and those involved with stalking or domestic violence issues. In those cases she offers structured work aimed at changing harmful patterns and increasing accountability.
Seeking help takes courage, and Anne frames the work as a partnership. She aims to support and empower people as they make changes that lead to more satisfying family and personal life.

Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care
Anne uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills and behavior change. One common approach emphasizes structured problem-solving and behavior change to address addictions and unwanted patterns. This approach breaks issues into small steps and teaches practical skills to manage cravings, urges, or reactive behavior. Another approach centers on improving communication and reducing conflict by teaching clear ways to express needs and set boundaries. This helps with relationship strain, parenting challenges, and control issues by creating more predictable interactions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, values, and daily life. Together they track progress and adjust strategies so sessions stay useful and relevant.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video lets people use face-to-face conversation when helpful. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth or visual focus is limited. Live chat and text messaging make short check-ins or between-session support easier. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and stay connected between appointments.
