About Ann
Ann Voorhees is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 38 years of experience. She practices in Florida and helps people who struggle with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, grief, addiction, relationship and intimacy issues, and life changes. Ann also supports clients facing parenting strains, sleep and eating problems, ADHD, caregiver stress, and concerns tied to family of origin and abandonment.
She began clinical work after completing her graduate degree in 1986 and has a long history in mental health settings. Early in her career she assessed and treated children suspected of sexual abuse and later worked with adult survivors and adolescents involved in sexually harmful behavior. Over time her work broadened to focus on adults and mature adults whose day-to-day functioning is affected by low mood, low self-worth, fatigue, and ongoing anger.
Ann describes her counseling style as interactive and respectful. She combines Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Motivational Interviewing, and Psychodynamic ideas in practical conversation. Sessions tend to be a mix of talking, gentle reflection on patterns, and practical steps to try between meetings.
Her approach is straightforward. She listens to what is happening now, traces patterns from the past when helpful, and tests small behavioral changes to reduce distress. This can include learning ways to manage anger when it flares, shifting unhelpful thoughts, and building routines for sleep, eating, and everyday coping.
People who want clear, down-to-earth help with anger, relationship strain, or long-standing low mood may find her style useful. She accepts international clients and conducts work in English. To begin, follow the online intake steps to match and schedule a first session.
Therapeutic approaches and online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting conversation. It helps people feel heard and supports exploration of personal goals and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anger, anxiety, and depression.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss needs, goals, and preferences and suggest approaches to try. Sessions can shift over time if a different focus is more useful for the client's present concerns.
Session formats are not specified in the provided biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, shorten travel time, and offer check-ins that work around work or caregiving schedules. It can also allow sessions without video if someone prefers a shorter phone check-in or lower bandwidth connection. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, mindfulness practices, and CBT tools to the online setting so clients can practice skills between meetings.
