01About Ann
Ann Niebuhr is a licensed clinician who helps people manage anxiety, stress, depression, grief, trauma, and addictions. She uses a direct, practical style to help clients name problems and try new ways of coping. Her approach aims to ease daily strain so people can make clearer choices about relationships and life demands.
Before becoming an LPCC, she completed graduate training at Saint Mary's University of Minnesota. Over eight years she has worked across several mental health settings.
Background and approach
That experience includes time supporting people with obsessive thoughts, panic attacks, and compulsive behaviors. In earlier roles she worked with play therapy and DBT-style group formats during internships. She has also worked with attachment-related concerns and family of origin issues.
That background informs how she sees patterns in relationships and coping styles. Ann pays attention to how long-term health conditions, chronic pain, and disability affect mood and daily functioning. She also addresses body image, dissociation, and process addictions such as gambling or exercise-related problems.
The aim in sessions is practical change rather than labels. Sessions combine talking, skill practice, and step-by-step behavior changes tailored to each person. Ann uses techniques drawn from evidence-based therapeutic methods and adapts them to what a person needs right now.
She works in English and provides care from Minnesota.

04Online support
Evidence-based approaches and online care
Ann uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that break problems into clear steps people can practice between sessions. One common method focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression; it helps people learn new ways of responding to distressing situations. Another approach targets compulsive or repetitive behaviors by using gradual exposures and response strategies to reduce the urge and build alternative habits; this can help with OCD and process addictions.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to identify goals, try methods, and adjust based on what fits their needs and preferences. That way treatment stays practical and centered on real-life improvements.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people use face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to fit support into busy days and to use messaging for brief updates or skill coaching between longer appointments.
