About Ann

Ann Voorhees is a licensed clinical social worker with 38 years of experience who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, trauma, and relationship or intimacy struggles. She also supports people dealing with parenting challenges, sleep and eating concerns, ADHD, career strain, and compassion fatigue. Ann practices in Florida and offers care in English, including to international clients.

She returned to direct clinical work after many years as a psychiatric and human services administrator.

Background and approach

Early in her career she assessed and treated children suspected of sexual abuse and later worked with adult survivors and adolescent offenders. Over time her caseload shifted toward adults and mature adults coping with sadness, low self-worth, fatigue, and anger that affect work and daily life. Her counseling style is warm and interactive.

She aims to treat people with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and avoids stigmatizing labels. Conversations are tailored to each person and focus on practical steps toward change. Ann uses a mix of approaches to fit the situation.

She draws from client-centered work, cognitive-behavioral ideas, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and psychodynamic perspectives to shape the plan. Sessions typically combine talking, reflection, and skill-building to help people manage symptoms and make choices that feel right. She encourages those who are ready for change to take a first step and says courage matters more than perfection.

Online support

How her approach translates to online therapy

Ann integrates client-centered work and cognitive-behavioral strategies in ways that lend themselves well to remote sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and helping people set their own goals; it helps when someone needs a supportive space to talk through family or relationship stress. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and practicing different behaviors; it is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating problems, and managing daily stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. That might mean trying a few techniques, then adjusting the plan based on what helps most.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be a good shorter check-in or require less bandwidth, and messaging formats are handy for quick updates or reflecting between sessions. These options help people access ongoing support while balancing work, caregiving, or travel commitments.
