About Ann
Ann Soule is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LCPC) based in Maine. She draws on 19 years in the mental health field to help people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, and the everyday strain of parenting. Her style is straightforward and practical, aimed at helping parents find workable steps forward.
She combines common-sense strategies with evidence-informed methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing. Ann has extensive experience in opioid and alcohol addiction work and currently manages an Opioid Treatment Center where medication assisted treatment is part of recovery care.
Background and approach
That background informs how she approaches related issues such as depression, trauma responses, and relationship strain. Ann often addresses the ripple effects of addiction - loss of identity, family disconnect, financial pressures, and exchanging one addictive behavior for another. She also supports people facing grief, anger, compassion fatigue, and questions about life purpose or midlife change.
She identifies as an LGBTQ+ ally and welcomes people from diverse backgrounds. Her approach is eclectic and practical. Sessions may use solution-focused techniques, motivational interviewing, or trauma-focused strategies depending on the concern.
She emphasizes harm reduction, meeting people where they are, and celebrating small steps toward goals. Outside clinical work she brings lived family experience to conversations about parenting and caregiving. Ann encourages a collaborative process where clients name goals and test small changes that can fit into a busy life.

Practical therapy methods for online parenting and recovery support
Ann uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. CBT often helps with anxiety, depression, and the everyday problems that feed into parenting stress and addictive behavior.She also draws on Motivational Interviewing to support change when motivation feels stuck. That approach focuses on the client’s own reasons for change and helps build small, sustainable steps toward goals like cutting back on substance use or improving family routines.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Ann will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then shape sessions around what seems most useful. She adapts tools and homework to fit parenting schedules and the realities of recovery work.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into life. Video is useful for deeper conversations and skill practice, phone calls suit people with limited bandwidth, and chat or messaging can work for brief check-ins or a quick coaching-style touchpoint. These options let people keep momentum without major schedule disruption.
