About Ann
Ann Sumpter is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in West Virginia with seven years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, anger, and related concerns such as career strain, grief, and addiction. Sessions focus on practical steps people can use day to day to manage emotions and cope with life changes.
She uses client-centered methods to listen closely and help people clarify what matters to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is part of her work when patterns of thinking and behavior get in the way. Mindfulness techniques are offered to help slow down intense reactions and notice physical and emotional cues.
Ann also uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques to set short-term goals and keep progress manageable. That combination can be useful for issues like self-esteem, anger, and substance concerns where concrete changes are helpful. She has experience addressing LGBT-related issues, eating concerns, ADHD, and family-related stress.
Her approach is straightforward and goal-aware. Conversations aim to identify specific triggers, practice new responses, and build small habits that fit a person's life. She accepts clients who live outside the United States and works in English.
Cost varies with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the platform's booking flow.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and collaboration. In practice this means the therapist helps people name what matters to them and guides conversations around those priorities. It is useful for working through anger, life changes, and relationship stress.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets specific thinking and behavior patterns. Sessions often include identifying triggers, testing different responses, and practicing new skills between meetings. That approach is commonly used for anxiety, depression, anger, and self-esteem work.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity. Short exercises help people notice bodily signs of escalation and choose calmer responses instead of reacting on impulse.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches match their goals and preferences. That conversation shapes what happens in sessions and what homework or practice looks like between meetings.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Licensed professionals often use these practical benefits to help therapy fit into everyday life rather than replacing in-person needs.
