Anne Combs, LPCC

Anne Combs, LPCC, has spent 40 years in the behavioral health field, serving as a therapist as well as a clinical supervisor and administrator within both small and large organizations. Originally from Kentucky, she has lived in the Cincinnati area for more than 30 years, completed graduate school in West Virginia, and is fully licensed in Ohio.

Her work is increasingly centered on supporting people who want relief from day-to-day strain and who are ready to move toward practical solutions. She has experience with a wide range of concerns, including career challenges, relationship difficulties, and severe mental illness, and she brings a steady focus on what can be done in the present. While she recognizes how strongly past trauma can shape a person’s life, she emphasizes helping clients learn ways to manage its impact so they can pursue a satisfying, meaningful life.

Anne’s style is friendly, warm, interactive, and practical. She values effective communication and the ability to laugh at oneself as important tools for growth. Her approach draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which helps people shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to better cope with stressors, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), which takes a goal-oriented, step-by-step approach to addressing concerns. She also has training hours in Executive Coaching, which adds an additional problem-solving lens for clients who want support with professional effectiveness and role success.
