About Ann

Dr. Ann Bachmann brings 35 years of clinical social work experience to her practice in Missouri.

Background and approach

She is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with licenses in Illinois and Missouri and has supported people facing a wide range of concerns such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, relationship and intimacy challenges, parenting struggles, and coping with life changes.

Her background also includes work with mood disorders, trauma-related stress, caregiver strain, autism spectrum presentations, and issues like sleep disruption, anger, and self-esteem challenges. Her approach combines warmth and compassion with tailored therapeutic techniques.

She draws on client-centered methods to prioritize each person's goals and strengths, uses cognitive behavioral strategies to address unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, and incorporates mindfulness and solution-focused elements when appropriate. Ann adapts her style to the individual so sessions emphasize practical skills, self-understanding, and gradual progress toward stated goals.

Clients can expect a respectful, nonjudgmental environment that emphasizes collaboration and empowerment. She uses a flexible mix of evidence-informed tools to help people build coping skills, improve relationships, and navigate transitions in their lives.

Approaches that guide online sessions



Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening to each person's experience and shaping sessions around their goals and strengths. It helps people feel heard and builds a collaborative space for exploring values, relationships, and motivation for change.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and skills practice. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, sleep difficulties, and problems with stress and anger.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and will be determined together. The therapist partners with clients to assess needs, preferences, and goals, then blends methods - such as mindfulness or solution-focused steps - so treatment feels tailored and manageable.

Online sessions via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make therapy more flexible for people with busy schedules or mobility constraints. These formats allow ongoing skill practice, timely check-ins, and consistent momentum toward goals while fitting into everyday life.
