About Ann
Ann Stancil is a licensed clinical social worker with 17 years of experience who helps people facing stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and life changes. She offers straightforward, steady support and talks with clients about practical steps they can take. Her style is nonjudgmental and open; she treats each person with respect regardless of background or identity.
Stancil earned her degree from Indiana University Northwest in 2009 and then worked for 16 years in a behavioral health center.
Background and approach
That work exposed her to many concerns, including bipolar disorder, trauma and abuse, grief, and addictions. She also has experience with parenting challenges, relationship problems, intimacy issues, and anger-related concerns. She uses a blend of Client-Centered Therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy.
In sessions she listens first, then helps people try tools that match their needs. Expect clear, simple explanations and homework that fits daily life. Her background includes helping people through big transitions, managing impulsivity, and addressing co-occurring issues such as substance use and mood disorders.
She also supports people navigating gender questions, multicultural concerns, and end-of-life matters. Stancil practices in Indiana and conducts work in English. She focuses on building practical coping plans so people can move toward their goals and reclaim routines that feel meaningful.

Approaches Ann lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist names and does not check training records.
How these approaches guide online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. It helps people feel heard and clarifies their goals so therapy follows their priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood. It teaches practical skills to test unhelpful thoughts and build new behaviors for anxiety, depression, anger, and addiction concerns.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. Those skills help with impulsivity, intense emotions, and relationship strain.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that match the concern, and adjust the plan based on what helps. That makes therapy a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all model.
Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for a close, face-to-face feel. Phone sessions take less bandwidth and can fit into a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins or when writing out thoughts is easier. These options provide flexibility so people can choose what fits their routine and comfort.
