Ann Huyghe

Ann Huyghe is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Michigan who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and eating concerns. She speaks plainly and aims to make the first steps into therapy feel manageable. Ann acknowledges how hard it can be to begin and encourages small, steady progress.

She uses a mix of practical approaches to match each person's needs. Conversations focus on current challenges and what the client wants to change. Ann listens without judgment and works with people to set clear, achievable goals.

Ann blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with cognitive-behavioral tools to help people notice difficult thoughts and take values-driven action. She also draws on client-centered methods to keep sessions grounded in what the client cares about most. Motivational interviewing informs her work when someone feels stuck or unsure about next steps.

In session, clients can expect straightforward discussion, gentle exploration of feelings, and concrete strategies to try between visits. She adapts pacing and techniques to the person rather than following a single method for everyone. That makes it easier to address things like mood swings, impulsivity, and obsessive worries.

Her background includes 14 years of professional experience supporting people through life transitions, relationship struggles, parenting stress, and trauma recovery. Ann aims to build practical skills and clearer self-understanding so people can move forward with more confidence.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Ann uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify what matters to them and take small actions that reflect those values even when emotions are strong. ACT is useful for anxiety, low mood, and for shifting avoidance patterns.

She also employs Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking and practice different behaviors. CBT offers concrete skills for managing panic, obsessive worries, and mood swings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ann will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and daily life. That means adjusting pace, mixing techniques, and checking in about what is helpful.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins during a workday break. It can also let people try shorter or more frequent meetings depending on their needs. Discussing practical arrangements up front helps shape a plan that fits day-to-day life.
