About Ann
Ann Voorhees is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 38 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, depression, grief, and addiction. She also supports concerns around parenting, sleep and eating problems, self-esteem, career strain, ADHD, and relationship or intimacy-related issues. Ann writes simply and listens closely when someone is feeling overwhelmed.
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 then worked with adult survivors and adolescents involved in offending behaviors. Over time her practice shifted to adults and mature adults with anxiety, depression, fatigue, and low self-worth. Ann’s counseling style is warm and interactive.
She treats people with respect, sensitivity, and compassion and avoids stigmatizing labels. Sessions focus on clear conversation and practical steps rather than jargon. Her approach blends client-centered work, cognitive behavioral strategies, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and psychodynamic ideas.
She adapts what she uses to fit each person’s situation and goals, and she helps set achievable steps toward change. Ann encourages people to take small, brave steps toward a more fulfilling life. She supports clients who want to reduce anger and reactivity, manage stress, improve relationships, or cope with major life changes.
Her aim is to help people feel more capable and more understood.

How Ann’s approaches work online
Client-centered work focuses on listening carefully and shaping sessions around what matters most to the client. This approach helps people who need a safe space to talk through feelings like anger, grief, or low self-worth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills for changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce stress, anxiety, and reactive anger. Mindfulness Therapy helps people notice physical and emotional reactions in the moment, which supports better emotional regulation and less impulsive responding.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Ann will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has worked in the past. Together they adjust techniques and pace so the work fits daily life and feels manageable.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video lets a therapist and client see each other and work through exercises together. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, ongoing coaching, or when writing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules.
