Anne Marie Briggs

Anne Marie Briggs is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Hawaii with ten years of clinical experience. She works with people feeling stuck by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, career doubts, and big life changes. She also offers coaching focused on life purpose and practical next steps.

She helps people who are adjusting to chronic illness, caregiving roles, fertility and postpartum concerns, and transitions tied to work or military service. Communication difficulties and feelings of emptiness are part of her caseload. Anne Marie names life purpose as a central focus of her work and offers support around that question.

Sessions combine evidence-based therapeutic techniques with straightforward conversation. She talks through decisions, helps clarify priorities, and practices communication and coping skills in-session. Expect practical tools aimed at day-to-day changes rather than abstract theory.

Her approach pays attention to cultural background and to disability-related needs. She works with people connected to hospice and end-of-life care, and with those affected by intellectual disability or chronic pain. Her work includes career and adjustment counseling as described in her profile.

Anne Marie uses clear language and step-by-step planning for career shifts, caregiver stress, and finding meaning after loss or change. People who want help figuring out what comes next often begin by identifying small, manageable steps and testing them between sessions.

How Anne Marie adapts evidence-based work to online sessions

Anne Marie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques in clear, concrete ways. Cognitive-behavioral style methods focus on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors; these approaches help with anxiety, low mood, and practical problem solving. Skills-based coaching emphasizes building routines, communication practice, and step-by-step plans for career changes or caregiving demands.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss what feels most practical and acceptable based on goals, daily demands, and what the client prefers. Together they track what works and adjust methods over time rather than rely on a single technique.

The profile does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Many people find remote sessions useful because they make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Remote work also makes it simpler to practice communication or coping skills in real-life settings and report back about what changed.
