About Ann
Ann Voorhees is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with 38 years of experience. She works with adults who face stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, and other life challenges. Her practice also includes support for people dealing with grief, addictions, ADHD, and family of origin issues.
She began her clinical work after finishing graduate school in 1986. Early in her career she assessed and treated children suspected of sexual abuse, later working with adult survivors and adolescent sex offenders. Over time her focus shifted toward adults and mature adults dealing with anxiety, depression, low self-worth, fatigue, and anger that affect work and daily life.
Her style is interactive and person-focused. Sessions involve direct conversation aimed at understanding current problems and testing practical ways to change thoughts and behaviors. She blends cognitive behavioral ideas with psychodynamic thinking and client-centered listening to address patterns that repeat across relationships and life stages.
Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are also part of her approach when they fit a person's goals. These methods are used to develop coping skills, reduce distressing symptoms, and support clearer decision-making. Ann emphasizes respectful, nonjudgmental dialogue rather than labels.
People who come for help can expect straightforward discussion about goals and options. She works with issues such as family dynamics, eating and sleeping concerns, caregiving stress, and coping with life transitions. For someone noticing old family patterns still shaping their life, she offers focused clinical conversations to identify and change those patterns.
Approaches used in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and supporting a person's own goals. It uses open conversation to clarify what matters and to help people decide next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It involves practical exercises and experiments to test new ways of thinking and behaving that can reduce anxiety and depression.Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose which methods to try based on the client's goals, preferences, and how symptoms show up in daily life. That means trying an approach, checking how it feels, and adjusting the plan together.
The original biography does not specify which online session formats are used, so confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They can also offer a way to continue care when life changes make in-person visits difficult. Licensed professionals and therapists generally adapt exercises and conversation to work well in remote appointments.
