About Ann

Ann Voorhees is a licensed clinical social worker with 38 years of experience who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, parenting challenges, and related concerns. She works with adults dealing with low self-worth, fatigue, anger, addiction, relationship and intimacy issues, ADHD, and life changes. Ann focuses on practical steps parents can use when parenting feels overwhelming.

Before returning to one-on-one psychotherapy, she spent many years as a psychiatric and human services administrator.

Background and approach

Her clinical work began after completing graduate school in 1986, assessing and treating children suspected of sexual abuse and later supporting adult survivors and adolescents. Over time her practice broadened to include adults and mature adults with mood and anxiety symptoms. Her counseling style is warm and interactive.

She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion and avoids stigmatizing labels. Sessions are conversational and tailored to each person’s needs. Ann draws on cognitive-behavioral methods, client-centered principles, psychodynamic ideas, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing.

She adapts these methods to practical goals such as better sleep, improved communication, coping skills, and clearer parenting choices. She invites people who are ready to make changes to take a first step. Ann aims to support and empower clients as they work toward more fulfilling routines, healthier relationships, and steadier emotional balance.

Online support

How Ann’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and following the client’s lead. In practice this means sessions are paced around what the client brings, with the therapist offering reflection and support to help the client find their own solutions. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and shift behaviors that keep problems going. It works well for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and many parenting-related concerns by giving practical skills and short exercises to try between sessions. Motivational interviewing supports change by helping people clarify their goals and resolve mixed feelings. It is useful for addictions, readiness to change, and coaching around life transitions. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. Ann will collaborate with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences. That plan can shift as progress is made and new priorities arise. Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen. Video calls let people connect face to face, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day, live chat is good for quick check-ins, and text messaging supports shorter ongoing coaching and reminders. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, parenting, or caregiving schedules.
