About Ann
Ann Dennis is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with seven years of counseling experience. She holds a master's degree in counseling and previously worked in public education, including 13 years as a school counselor. Ann focuses on relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, anger, and depression.
Her background includes roles in schools such as Parent Engagement Coordinator and campus leadership. That work shaped her practical approach to helping people handle relationship strain, communication problems, and the fallout of separation or trauma. Ann also supports clients facing guilt, shame, impulsivity, and feelings of isolation.
In sessions she uses straightforward, skills-based work. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Solution-Focused techniques to help people notice patterns, test new responses, and set small achievable goals. Mindfulness strategies and client-centered listening also appear in her practice when useful.
Ann aims to help people handle anger that shows up at home or work, manage panic or mood symptoms, and rebuild intimacy after hurt. She describes therapy as a place to talk through difficult feelings and rehearse different ways of responding. Progress is often practical and stepwise, focused on what people want to change.
Her Texas practice reflects years working with children, parents, and school systems, though sessions are with individuals. To begin, prospective clients follow the site process to match and schedule a first appointment.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thinking and choose actions that match their values. It is often used for anger, relationship stress, and mood concerns by teaching practical exercises to shift focus from reacting to responding. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses short experiments to test new ways of acting. CBT is useful for panic, mood disorders, and tackling patterns that keep anger or guilt alive.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Ann will work collaboratively to identify which methods suit a person's goals and preferences, and she adjusts plans based on how someone responds in early sessions. The emphasis is on clear steps and measurable progress rather than abstract theory.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking so you know how sessions will be scheduled and delivered. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow brief check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people use mindfulness and behavioral exercises from home and practice new responses between meetings. Licensed professionals can tailor pacing and homework to match everyday life, helping new skills transfer into real situations.
