About Ann
Ann Voorhees is a Florida-based LCSW who supports people facing stress, anxiety, family difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, eating and sleeping problems, parenting struggles, anger, low self-esteem, career challenges, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and many related life adjustments.
Background and approach
With a practice informed by long clinical experience, she works with clients addressing abandonment, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, codependency, communication problems, coping after disasters, divorce and separation, hospice and end-of-life issues, and compassion fatigue.
After an early clinical career assessing and treating children and later adult survivors of abuse, Ann spent many years in psychiatric and human services administration before returning to direct clinical work. Her counseling blends cognitive behavioral techniques with client-centered, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and psychodynamic influences to tailor treatment to each person’s situation.
She aims to reduce distress and build practical skills through collaborative planning and respectful dialogue. Known for a warm, interactive style, Ann emphasizes sensitivity and compassion while avoiding stigmatizing labels.
She invites clients who are ready to pursue greater well-being to take a first step toward change, offering support focused on empowerment and individualized care.
Practical approaches for online therapy and recovery
Ann blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered approaches to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop concrete coping skills while keeping the person’s experience and values central to the work. CBT offers structured techniques for addressing anxiety, depression, and behavior-driven concerns, while Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes empathy, respect, and the client’s pace in making changes.She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to help people build awareness of thoughts and bodily sensations, which can be useful for stress, emotional regulation, and coping with grief or trauma. Together these methods give a mix of skill-building and supportive exploration, allowing the therapist and client to collaborate on the best path forward based on individual needs and goals.
Online work with Ann is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible access regardless of location. These formats make it easier to schedule sessions around work and family demands, maintain continuity through life transitions, and stay connected when in-person visits are difficult. Licensed professionals can adapt these methods effectively to remote care and will work with clients to choose a format that fits their preferences and circumstances.
