About Ann

Ann DePoole is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, grief, addiction-related concerns, mood disorders, and ADHD among other challenges. With 14 years of clinical experience, she works from a perspective that values trust and openness as the foundation for change.

Background and approach

Ann returned to school in her 40s to pursue a longtime goal of supporting others, and she describes her work as guided by a commitment to help individuals rebuild and strengthen their lives. Her practice draws on several evidence-informed methods including cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, acceptance and commitment principles, attachment-based ideas, and client-centered approaches.

Ann applies these methods to address trauma, substance use and co-occurring conditions, relationship and intimacy issues, self-esteem and body image concerns, and a wide range of life transitions. She offers services in Arizona and conducts sessions in English through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.

Ann holds LCSW licensure in Florida and Arizona and aims to tailor therapy collaboratively to each person’s needs.

Tailoring Evidence-Based Approaches to Online Care

Ann uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; this approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and managing mood symptoms. She also integrates acceptance and commitment therapy, which focuses on clarifying values and learning skills to accept difficult emotions while taking committed action toward meaningful goals. These methods are applied in a collaborative, client-centered way that respects each person’s pace and priorities.

Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist works with clients to explore which strategies fit their needs and goals, and adjusts techniques over time based on what is helpful. Clients can expect a blend of practical skill-building and reflective work designed to support real-world change.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for varied schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions, reduce travel time, and access ongoing support from licensed professionals who adapt interventions to the online setting.
