About Ann
Ann Legierski is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 13 years of clinical experience who supports people coping with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, relationship and family concerns, grief, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and related challenges.
Background and approach
She draws on a client-centered stance that emphasizes empathy, respect, and acceptance while tailoring treatment plans to each person’s unique goals and circumstances.
Ann’s background includes a Master of Social Work from the University of Southern California and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from University of Phoenix, and she has worked with a wide range of ages and cultural backgrounds, including individuals, couples, families, and members of the LGBTQIA community.
Her practice blends evidence-based techniques such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) with humanistic and existential perspectives to offer both practical skills and deeper exploration of meaning. Ann aims to provide education, encouragement, and insight while helping clients build coping strategies and adapt to life changes.
Her approach is collaborative and strengths-oriented, focused on helping people move through difficult transitions and toward the outcomes they define for themselves.
Approaches That Guide Online Care
Ann integrates cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and emotionally-focused or attachment-informed work to address both symptom relief and relational patterns. CBT focuses on identifying and reshaping unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms such as anxiety, depression, or problematic coping, while emotionally-focused and attachment-based approaches explore patterns of connection, emotional responses, and how relationships affect well-being.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and will adapt methods over time so the plan stays aligned with what is most helpful for that person.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which support flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, practice skills between sessions, and access therapy from home or other convenient locations, while allowing the therapist to tailor interventions using the approaches described above.
