About Anne-Marie

Anne-Marie Cline is a Hawaii-based licensed clinical social worker with ten years of professional experience guiding people through stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, and matters related to LGBT identity.

Background and approach

She focuses on creating an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore thoughts and emotions and take practical steps toward greater well-being. Her approach blends relational and skills-based methods to address family conflict, communication difficulties, and issues around self-esteem and compassion fatigue.

Anne-Marie draws on evidence-informed tools to help clients navigate addiction, depression, attachment concerns, and the many life adjustments that follow adoption, caregiving, or traumatic events. She emphasizes collaboration and empowerment, helping each person identify goals and workable strategies that reflect their values and daily realities.

Clients work with Anne-Marie to build insight and coping skills while also attending to relational patterns that influence current struggles. With experience supporting a wide range of concerns from body image and jealousy to codependency and forgiveness, she aims to meet people where they are and support sustainable change at a pace that feels manageable.

Integrating relational work with online therapy

Internal Family Systems centers on understanding the different parts of a person and how those parts interact; this approach helps people notice inner conflicts and develop more compassionate, balanced internal relationships. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relational patterns formed through early bonds and helps clients explore how those patterns shape current relationships and emotional responses. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes respect for each person's experience, with therapists offering empathy and nonjudgmental listening to support self-directed growth and stronger self-understanding.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to identify goals, preferences, and which methods feel most helpful, tailoring sessions so therapeutic techniques align with individual needs and values.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility by enabling meetings through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit counseling into busy schedules or when in-person care is not convenient. These formats support ongoing work on coping skills, relationship patterns, and emotional processing while allowing clients to engage from locations that suit them.
