About AnnMarie
AnnMarie Lehrer is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and parenting concerns. She aims to make therapy direct and practical so parents can find clearer routines and feel more confident. AnnMarie writes clearly about steps people can take and focuses on small, doable changes.
She uses a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs. Sessions often focus on recognizing patterns, building skills to manage strong emotions, and practicing new ways of responding in real life.
Background and approach
That includes attention to self-esteem, motivation, and communication so daily life feels more manageable. AnnMarie pays attention to how attachment, guilt, and body image can affect everyday decisions. She also supports people dealing with caregiver stress, life transitions like divorce, and the emotional impact of pregnancy and childbirth.
Conversations may include problem-solving, emotion regulation, and ways to improve connection with others. Her work typically draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. These approaches are used to teach tools, notice what matters most, and practice new habits between sessions.
AnnMarie has six years of counseling experience and provides services in English for clients living in Georgia. She sees parenting as a common focus and helps parents who want practical strategies and steady support.

How her approaches work in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then commit to actions that match their values; it is often helpful for anxiety, stress, and parenting decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments to reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on improving emotional connection and expressing needs clearly, which can help with relationship concerns and communication problems.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through your goals, try different tools, and adjust methods based on what feels most helpful. Together you decide which strategies to practice between sessions and how progress will be checked.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different rhythms of life. Video sessions are useful for deeper conversations and teaching skills, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when you need a shorter check-in, and chat or messaging can support brief check-ins and between-session practice. These options make scheduling easier and help therapy fit into busy family routines.
