About Ann
Ann Stromberg is an Ohio based Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) with 12 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and parenting concerns. She focuses on practical steps that fit a parent's daily life and helps people build skills that last beyond therapy. She blends cognitive behavioral approaches with solution-focused work to target real problems and quick wins.
Sessions look at strengths first and then identify small changes that can reduce stress or improve relationships.
Background and approach
She checks in often to see what is working and adjusts strategies based on client feedback. Her style is straightforward and collaborative. She invites clients to set clear goals and uses short-term planning to make progress feel achievable.
This approach suits parents juggling childcare, work, and household demands who want concrete tools for calmer days. Beyond immediate goals, she takes a broad view of a person's life. Conversations include roles, routines, and stressors across work, caregiving, and personal time.
That helps reveal patterns that keep problems cycling and shows where simple changes can help. Ann draws on several methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing alongside CBT and solution-focused techniques. She explains options plainly and collaborates with each person to pick what fits their values and daily schedule.
Her aim is to help people feel more confident, reduce overwhelm, and move toward practical, lasting change.

How her approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take small committed steps toward those values. It can be useful for parents feeling stuck or overwhelmed by caregiving demands. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression. CBT is practical and often involves homework between sessions to build new habits.Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has helped in the past. Together they choose strategies and adapt them over time based on feedback and results.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face work and skill practice. Phone sessions can fit into a work break or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging can provide brief check-ins, quick coaching, and support between longer sessions. These formats make it easier to get consistent help without long travel, and to use tools that match a parent's day-to-day needs.
