About Anne-Marie
Anne-Marie Cline is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Hawaii with ten years of professional experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and concerns related to LGBT identity. She aims to create a space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgment and where people feel supported taking the first steps toward change.
Her approach is practical and straightforward. She listens closely to what matters most to each person, then uses methods that fit their needs. That can include talking about patterns in relationships, practicing mindfulness to reduce reactivity, or learning concrete skills to manage anxiety.
Anne-Marie draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current behavior. She also uses client-centered methods that keep the person’s priorities at the center of sessions. Cognitive behavioral techniques help break unhelpful thought and behavior cycles when clients want specific tools to cope.
Clients who value a calm, respectful tone tend to do well with her. Sessions focus on small, doable steps rather than sweeping promises. She encourages people to try new ways of relating and coping and to notice what changes over time.
She has worked across a range of concerns including codependency, communication problems, caregiver stress, and issues around adoption and foster care. Those seeking to improve self-esteem, manage compassion fatigue, or address addictive patterns will find practical strategies and steady support.
How approaches adapt to online work
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships affect present behavior and emotions; online sessions can be used to talk through those patterns and practice new ways of relating in real time. Client-centered therapy prioritizes the person’s concerns and pacing, offering a space to be heard and to set goals that feel right. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) uses practical exercises to change thinking and behavior, like tracking moods and testing different responses to stress.Finding the best approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferred pace. That might mean starting with listening and reflection, then adding CBT tools or mindfulness exercises as helpful.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into daily life, allowing shorter check-ins around work breaks or avoiding travel time. It can also let people use camera-off conversations when they prefer less on-screen time, or choose video when visual cues feel important. The emphasis is on making therapy practical and available in ways that support steady progress.
