About Anne
Anne Keyes is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Massachusetts with three years of clinical experience. She focuses on common and urgent concerns such as stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, low self esteem, depression, and anger. Anne speaks English and works with adults who want practical ways to manage strong feelings and difficult patterns.
Her sessions emphasize a client-centered approach. That means conversations start with what the person notices and wants to change. She uses straightforward talk and collaborative goal setting rather than jargon. Clients can expect direct support in naming triggers and planning manageable steps forward.
Anne also integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which links thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and looks for small changes that reduce distress. She draws on Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons to change, especially around substance use. For clients with trauma histories she brings Trauma-Focused Therapy tools to address how past events keep affecting today.
In practical terms, Anne helps people break down problems into clear tasks. She offers skills for handling anger in moments when it flares and strategies to reduce built-up resentment. Sessions work on realistic habits people can use at home and at work.
To get started, readers should be ready to describe their main concerns and try a short plan for change. Anne asks questions and helps set a first goal so progress can be measured in small steps.
How Anne uses evidence-based approaches in online sessions
Anne uses Client-Centered Therapy to start sessions by focusing on what the person sees as most important. That approach means conversations follow the client’s priorities and the therapist reflects back what she hears to build clarity and direction.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT helps people spot unhelpful thinking and try small behavioral changes to reduce anxiety, anger, or low mood. Motivational Interviewing is another tool she uses to help people find their own reasons to change, which can be helpful when addressing addictions or mixed feelings about change.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Anne will talk with clients about their goals and try approaches that fit their needs and preferences. She treats the selection of techniques as a collaborative process and adjusts plans as progress is tracked.
