Ann Garfield, LCSW

Ann Garfield is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Florida with 40 years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, self-esteem concerns, and the practical challenges that come with major life changes.

She draws on a long history of clinical work that began after graduate school in New York. Over four decades she has helped people manage anxiety and depression, address relationship problems, and strengthen motivation and confidence. She also has experience with trauma-related issues and with working with Holocaust survivors and their adult family members.

In sessions she focuses on practical coping skills and clearer communication. She helps people identify strengths they already have and use those strengths to handle current problems. Conversations often include concrete steps to reduce stress and improve day-to-day functioning.

Ann pays attention to how life events affect routines, work, and relationships. She helps clients practice new ways of talking about problems and repairing communication patterns. She also supports people working through forgiveness, isolation, and finding a renewed sense of purpose.

Her approach is straightforward and action-oriented. The goal is to create manageable change, one step at a time. People who want practical help balancing work, family, and personal goals often find this style a good fit.
