About Anne

Anne Marie Herwig Ward is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with twenty years of practice based in Pennsylvania. She focuses on parenting concerns and ADHD while also addressing impulsivity, life purpose, self-love, and social anxiety and phobia.

Background and approach

Her background centers on guiding people through transitions and challenges with practical strategies and a strengths-based mindset. Her style blends compassion with active skill-building.

She uses evidence-informed techniques such as cognitive behavioral methods and solution-focused strategies, along with client-centered listening and motivational interviewing to help clients identify goals and create realistic steps forward. Sessions emphasize collaboration, clear coping tools, and attention to individual values and priorities.

Clients can expect a flexible therapeutic approach that adapts to their situation, whether the work centers on parenting issues, managing attention and impulsivity, or cultivating greater self-understanding and purpose. Her practice aims to support steady progress through focused, personalized plans and ongoing reflection on what works best for each person.

Approaches and Online Access for Focused Care

Client-centered therapy prioritizes the client's experience and perspective, offering empathetic listening and collaborative goal-setting to help people feel heard and to guide the direction of treatment. This approach can be especially helpful for those seeking validation and a therapeutic relationship that adapts to their needs.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors through structured exercises and practice. CBT is useful for addressing patterns related to attention, impulsivity, social anxiety, and day-to-day problem solving. Motivational Interviewing supports readiness for change by exploring personal motivations and ambivalence, making it a good fit when clients want to strengthen commitment to new habits or treatment plans.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and life context. This means approaches may be combined or adjusted over time to match progress and evolving needs.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing work to continue around schedules, school, or caregiving responsibilities. These formats make skill practice, check-ins, and goal-focused sessions more accessible for people balancing multiple commitments, and they allow licensed professionals to maintain continuity of care across different circumstances.
