About Ann

Ann Dennis is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with seven years of clinical experience.

Background and approach

She brings a background rooted in long-term work within educational settings and a master's level training in counseling, and she focuses on helping people address relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, intimacy issues, anger, and depression. Her approach emphasizes collaboration and practical strategies to help clients move forward from painful or stuck patterns.

Ann uses a range of evidence-informed methods, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), client-centered techniques, mindfulness, and solution-focused work to tailor sessions to each person’s needs. She creates a nonjudgmental space where clients can explore emotions, examine unhelpful thinking, and practice new ways of relating to themselves and others.

Practical skills, values-based goals, and present-moment awareness are woven into therapy to support healing and clearer decision-making. Sessions are offered through online formats to accommodate different schedules and preferences, with an emphasis on building a therapeutic relationship and setting achievable goals.

Ann aims to assist people who seek greater emotional balance, improved communication, and increased self-understanding.

Approaches That Guide Online Sessions

Ann integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy into online work. CBT focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and learning practical skills to change emotional and behavioral patterns, which can be useful for mood disorders, panic, and relationship conflicts. ACT emphasizes values clarification and mindful acceptance of difficult thoughts or feelings while committing to meaningful actions, a helpful approach for trauma-related avoidance and issues like shame or guilt.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Ann works with clients to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences and adjusts the therapeutic plan over time so techniques align with what the client finds most helpful.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats make it easier to schedule work around daily commitments and to continue therapy from different locations, while still focusing on building a strong working relationship, practicing skills, and tracking progress over time.
