Anne Marie Herwig Ward

Anne Marie Herwig Ward is a Pennsylvania LCSW - licensed clinical social worker with 20 years of practice. She focuses on parenting and ADHD and also addresses impulsivity, social anxiety and questions about life purpose. She speaks English and brings long experience to people feeling stuck or unsure about what comes next.

She offers straightforward, practical sessions aimed at identifying barriers and small next steps. Conversations often look at everyday routines, parenting patterns, and how attention or impulse difficulties show up at home or school. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and solution-focused methods are used to set short-term goals and try out different strategies between meetings.

Her approach centers on collaborative problem solving. Sessions typically include concrete skill-building, reflective questions, and brief homework to test what works. Motivational Interviewing can be part of conversations when people are weighing change or feeling ambivalent.

People seeking clearer direction around life purpose or greater self-respect can expect focused conversations about values and manageable actions. For parenting concerns the emphasis is on practical strategies parents can use right away. For ADHD and impulsivity the work often combines behavior-focused techniques with planning and structure.

With two decades of clinical experience, she draws on a mix of familiar therapeutic tools rather than a single method. Prospective clients are encouraged to confirm current session options and scheduling details before booking.

How Anne Marie blends practical therapy and online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people can name what matters to them and decide on next steps. It helps when someone is unsure or needs space to sort priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, behaviors, and routines and teaches specific skills to reduce unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for ADHD-related planning, impulsivity, and social anxiety.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means trying techniques, reviewing how they worked, and adjusting the plan together rather than assuming one single method from the start.

Confirm which session options are currently offered before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, or avoid travel on a workday. It can also allow for flexible scheduling around school or work commitments so therapy becomes a manageable part of everyday life rather than an added burden.
