About Ann
Ann DePoole is a licensed clinical social worker with 14 years of experience who helps people facing depression, anxiety, addiction, grief, and major life changes. She aims to build trust and openness so clients can talk about what matters most. Ann returned to school in her 40s to follow a long-held goal of supporting others, and she describes her work as mending one soul at a time.
She focuses on mood disorders, co-occurring conditions, trauma, and substance use. In sessions she uses straightforward methods drawn from cognitive behavioral approaches and acceptance-based work. Clients can expect practical skills for managing intense emotions and tools to break unhelpful patterns.
Ann also incorporates techniques from dialectical behavior approaches and attachment-informed thinking to address relationships, self-esteem, and coping after loss. She blends these methods to match each person's needs rather than relying on a single technique. Conversations are aimed at small, usable changes that fit into everyday life.
Practicing in Arizona, Ann holds the credential LCSW, which stands for licensed clinical social worker. She works in English and does not take international clients. Her background includes many years helping people navigate trauma, mood concerns, and substance-related problems.
If someone is unsure where to begin, she helps set clear, achievable goals and outlines simple steps to get started. Her approach is direct, warm, and goal-focused so people can move forward at a steady pace.
