About me

I am a Catholic Licensed Psychologist who has been providing counseling services for over 25 years . My work history includes 20 years with District Court, Family Services, with a focus on divorce and custody issues; family mediation, and conflict resolution. I have also worked many years in a private practice clinic, where I saw couples and individuals, addressing a wide variety of mental health issues, and offering a variety of therapy and support services.

If you are seeking a Catholic or Christian Counselor, I am happy to include a faith based dimension in our therapy work together. For others who have no such interest, I am respectful o f all spirituality styles and we will work together accordingly. Whatever your issues or concerns, it would be my pleasure to offer you help and healing in a caring and supportive therapeutic relationship.

Reviews

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Ann Bodensteiner. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.

I had the privilege of working with Ann Bodensteiner, and I truly can’t recommend her enough. She is insightful, compassionate, and refreshingly honest in all the right ways. Her support helped me navigate some incredibly tough decisions and gave me the confidence to set healthy boundaries in both personal and family relationships.

Ann has a way of making you feel seen and heard without judgment. Her ability to gently challenge your perspective while offering genuine care (and even behind-the-scenes prayers!) speaks volumes about how deeply she’s invested in her clients’ growth and well-being.

She’s not just a great therapist—she’s a genuinely good human who cares deeply. If you’re looking for someone who will guide you with wisdom, compassion, and real talk when you need it, Ann is that person.

Ann is great! She validates my feelings and thoughts but also challenges me to be introspective and consider my motivations. Very thankful for her support, compassion, and wisdom.

Ann is a gem! She is very thoughtful and encouraging. I found BetterHelp through a friend and found the process easy and timely. Ann was a good match for my profile issues and offered very doable suggestions to jumpstart my recovery from a difficult year.

In the short time I’ve met with Ann she’s been able to help me gather my thoughts and feelings and helped me better understand myself. After our meetings I feel relieved and that it’s okay to have the feelings/or thoughts I’ve been having.
