Anne Marie Briggs

Anne Marie Briggs is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in Hawaii. She helps people navigate tough life changes, cope with stress and anxiety, and build self-love and clearer communication skills. Her work often includes career coaching and support for those facing health challenges or caregiving responsibilities.

Clients meet a calm, practical style that focuses on small, usable steps. Sessions aim to identify what matters most and then try straightforward ways to move forward. The therapist uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

Her background includes a decade of clinical experience working with diverse people, including veterans and those with disabilities. That experience informs how she supports people through chronic illness, postpartum changes, fertility struggles, and career transitions. She also offers guidance for those feeling empty or unsure about life purpose.

Anne Marie emphasizes multicultural sensitivity and respects different life stories and identities. She works with caregivers and family members affected by disability and illness, offering tools to manage burnout and role strain. Hospice and end-of-life counseling is listed among her focus areas for people facing those transitions.

Practical concerns are part of her approach. Conversations address communication problems, forgiveness, and setting realistic goals. The aim is to help people build skills they can use outside the sessions and to make steady, manageable progress toward what they want.

Approaches for grief, transition, and daily challenges

Anne Marie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical work. One approach she draws on helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with more realistic thinking patterns to reduce anxiety and stress. This kind of work is useful for worry, low mood, and overwhelming self-criticism.

Another commonly used technique centers on building actionable life skills such as communication, problem-solving, and pacing when managing chronic illness or caregiving duties. These strategies aim to make daily life more manageable and relieve persistent strain.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and happens collaboratively. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust as needed based on what works best for each person. Clients are invited to share preferences and feedback so the plan evolves together.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when helpful, and remove travel time from the schedule. Licensed professionals can also use online sessions to continue consistent support through health changes or transitions while aligning therapy with everyday routines.
