About Anne
Anne Marie Sales is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in Florida with more than two decades of experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship struggles, grief, and parenting concerns. Her manner is warm and interactive, and she aims to help people set goals and take practical steps toward them.
She emphasizes straightforward conversation and real-world plans. Sessions often move between talking, problem-solving, and setting small tasks to try between meetings.
Background and approach
Anne Marie uses approaches that focus on the client's perspective, changing unhelpful thinking and behavior, and finding practical solutions to current problems. Her background includes work in adult substance use treatment and community mental health for both adults and children. That experience informed her work with mood disorders, ADHD, career stress, compassion fatigue, and intimacy-related issues, including sex addiction.
She has delivered individual, family, and group therapy during her career. Clients can expect a collaborative process where the therapist helps shape goals and supports gradual change. She balances empathy with action, helping people translate insight into new habits.
The emphasis is on manageable steps that fit daily life. Reaching out can feel hard, and Anne Marie frames the early sessions around what matters most to the client. She helps people clarify priorities, develop coping strategies, and track progress over time.

How these approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's perspective and priorities. The therapist listens with empathy and helps people name their goals so sessions follow what matters most. This approach helps with stress, low self-esteem, and life changes when people need support that feels personal.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses simple exercises to test unhelpful thinking and to build new coping skills. CBT is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and problems that benefit from step-by-step practice.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. Plans can change as progress is made and new priorities appear.
Online formats offered include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for conversation that mirrors in-person sessions. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or messaging is helpful for quick check-ins, written reflections, or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
