Annmarie Worcester

Hello and congratulations on taking such a great step to a better you! I am a licensed counselor in the sunny state of Florida as well as in the beautiful mountains of North Carolina. For 26 years I have been fortunate to live my passion of counseling, teaching, mentoring, coaching, consulting, and supervising. I have worked for hospitals, residential facilities, crisis units, juvenile evaluation centers, rape crisis centers, youth shelters, Boys and Girls Clubs, child abuse councils, YMCA, community mental health centers, Social Services, private counseling agencies, and telehealth platforms.

My main concentration has been providing direct therapeutic counseling to individuals with learning disabilities, suicidal tendencies, physical/sexual abuse and trauma issues, career issues and decision making, personality disorders, eating disorders, conduct/behavior disorders, and just overall life struggles due to stress, anxiety, or depression. I also have 5 years of direct experience working with individuals struggling with substance abuse issues and 8+ years of experience working with neurodiverse individuals and those on the Autism Spectrum scale. My theoretical orientation is very person centered providing encouragement and fostering empowerment while teaching mindfulness through reality based and CBT therapy techniques. I offer my services to clients who exhibit the ability and willingness to resolve their own problems with my assistance through the use of practical solutions and tools that can be applied in all aspects of life and any situation that may come up! Counseling involves your active participation both in and out of the counseling sessions, as well as a genuine desire and continual effort to change your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

Unfortunately, I cannot offer you any overnight, snap-of-the-finger, painless cures. Change and growth will be at your pace, which means sometimes it will be easy and swift, sometimes it will be slow and deliberate. I encourage you to make the determination as to the progress of the counseling process. If counseling is successful, you should feel that you are able to face life's challenges in the future without my support or intervention by using the solutions and tools we’ve discussed and you have practiced and mastered on your own.

Are you ready? I am here to help! Message me at [email protected] to request a session and tell me a little about you.
