Ann Voorhees, LCSW

Ann Voorhees, LCSW, helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and challenges like addiction and relationship or intimacy issues. She also supports people struggling with parenting, sleep and eating problems, anger, self-esteem, ADHD, career strain, and coping with major life changes. Ann trained as a clinical social worker and has practiced for decades in Florida.

After years in psychiatric and human services administration, she returned to direct psychotherapy work. Early in her career she assessed and treated children suspected of sexual abuse and then worked with adult survivors and adolescent sex offenders. Over time her caseload shifted toward adults and mature adults dealing with anxiety, depression, fatigue, low self-worth, and anger that affect daily life and work.

Her counseling style is warm and interactive. She aims to treat people with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, avoiding stigmatizing labels. Sessions focus on clear conversation and practical steps that match each person’s situation.

Ann draws from multiple approaches, including client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and psychodynamic ideas. She adapts these to fit the goals a person brings to therapy, tailoring the pace and focus as needed.

She encourages anyone ready to seek change to take the next step and offers supportive guidance through that process. To begin, readers are invited to follow the site’s process for matching and scheduling.

How Ann’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-centered work places emphasis on listening and following each person’s lead. This helps people feel heard and shapes goals based on what matters most to them. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety or depression symptoms and improve daily functioning.

Deciding which approach to use is a shared process. The therapist will collaborate with the person to pick methods based on their goals, challenges, and preferences. That plan can shift over time as progress and needs become clearer.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available online options before booking. Online sessions can make fitting therapy into a busy life easier, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a work break, or making it simpler to meet when mobility or scheduling is limited. Licensed professionals can adapt client-centered and CBT techniques to an online setting so conversation, behavioral experiments, and mindfulness exercises remain practical and focused on real-life change.
