About Ann
Dr. Ann Bachmann is a clinical social worker with over 35 years of experience. She holds a Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential and practices in Missouri.
She meets people where they are and focuses on practical steps to ease daily stress. She has worked with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, and sleep problems. Relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting strains, and compassion fatigue are also areas she helps people navigate.
Background and approach
She has additional experience with autism and Asperger syndrome and caregiver stress. Her style is warm and supportive. Sessions are conversational and down-to-earth.
She listens first, then helps people identify small, manageable goals. Dr. Bachmann uses methods like client-centered work, cognitive behavioral strategies, mindfulness practices, and solution-focused techniques.
That means clients learn skills to change unhelpful thoughts, try new behaviors, and build daily routines that reduce overwhelm. She tailors each session to individual needs. Some people want short-term problem solving.
Others prefer slower work on self-esteem or coping with life changes. The pace and focus shift as circumstances and goals change. People who contact her can expect clear explanations of suggested steps and simple homework between sessions when useful.
The aim is to help reduce symptoms and make everyday life easier to manage.

Online support
How therapy approaches shape online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and helping people find their own solutions. In practice this means sessions start with the person’s priorities and move at a comfortable pace, which suits work on self-esteem, grief, or life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. It helps people try concrete experiments to reduce anxiety, manage mood swings, and improve sleep through step-by-step exercises.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review your goals and preferences and recommend methods that fit. That decision is collaborative and can change as you make progress.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls let you read body language and have a fuller conversation. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins, quick skill reminders, and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
