About Ann Stancil

Ann Stancil is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who brings a compassionate, nonjudgmental approach to therapy. She graduated from Indiana University Northwest in 2009 and began her clinical work immediately, spending 16 years practicing in a behavioral health center where she gained experience across the lifespan from pediatric to geriatric clients. Over the years she has supported people facing mood disorders such as bipolar disorder and depression, common concerns like anxiety and stress, and complex conditions including borderline personality features and trauma-related symptoms.

She has worked with clients dealing with grief and loss, family conflict, relationship challenges, addiction, and many of the life situations that can pull people away from their goals and sense of purpose. Ann emphasizes an open-minded, unbiased stance and believes that race, ethnicity, age, gender, sexuality, religion, and political affiliation should not be barriers to receiving effective mental health care. She partners with each person to explore strengths, clarify goals, and pursue practical strategies for change, carrying out her responsibilities as a clinical therapist with professionalism and respect.

Approaches That Guide Online Care

Ann Stancil integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) in her work to address a broad range of concerns. Client-centered therapy focuses on building a respectful, empathic relationship and helping people uncover their own strengths and goals - it is often useful for life transitions, self-esteem work, and grief. CBT helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, making it a practical choice for managing anxiety, depression, and patterns that contribute to addiction. DBT teaches skills in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially helpful for individuals who struggle with impulsivity, intense emotions, or relationship conflicts.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Ann works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best for their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors strategies over time and combines elements from different approaches when that best serves the client's progress.

Online therapy with Ann offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity of care during life changes, and access licensed professionals without commuting, while preserving the collaborative nature of therapy and the ability to work toward meaningful change.
