About Ann
Ann Kite is a licensed clinical social worker in California with 28 years of experience. She listens without judgment and focuses on practical steps people can use to feel steadier day to day. Ann aims to make therapy a clear, manageable process for those coping with stress, anxiety, ADHD, relationship strain, grief, or life transitions.
She uses straightforward conversation to learn what matters most to each person. Sessions focus on workable strategies and habits rather than abstract theory.
Background and approach
Ann customizes the plan to fit a client's routine, goals, and pace. Her background includes long-term clinical work across a range of concerns such as trauma and abuse, mood disorders, addictions, and identity-related issues. This breadth helps her spot patterns and offer realistic tools that reflect real-life demands.
Ann draws on approaches that encourage collaboration and measurable change. She helps people test small shifts, track what works, and adjust as needed. The emphasis is on clear skills you can use between sessions to reduce overwhelm and improve daily functioning.
People who prefer direct, respectful conversation tend to work well with her. She supports clients through tough transitions and complex feelings while keeping the focus on immediate steps and long-term goals. Ann speaks English and sees clients living in and outside the United States.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy is about listening closely and shaping sessions around what the client says matters most. It helps when someone wants a respectful space to explore feelings and make their own decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors to change how someone feels. It often helps with anxiety, low mood, sleep problems, and ADHD-related daily routines.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each client about goals and preferences and try methods that fit their life. That collaborative process means techniques are adjusted over time so they stay useful and realistic.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect. Video calls let the conversation feel more like an in-person visit. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to use video. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for quicker check-ins, brief skill practice, or when someone wants written notes to review later. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules and different daily routines.
