About Ann
Ann Voorhees is a licensed clinical social worker with 38 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, sleep problems, grief, depression, and relationship or intimacy-related concerns. She works with adults facing addictions, parenting strain, career stress, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and other life changes. Ann aims to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where people can speak honestly about what is hard for them.
Ann returned to direct clinical work after many years in psychiatric and human services administration. She began her career working with children suspected of sexual abuse, then treated adult survivors and adolescents involved in sexual offending. Over time her practice expanded to focus on adults and mature adults dealing with low self-worth, fatigue, anger, and emotional distress that affects daily life and work.
Her counseling style is warm and interactive. Sessions emphasize clear conversation, practical steps, and attention to feelings that matter in day-to-day life. She avoids stigmatizing labels and treats people with sensitivity and compassion.
Ann uses a blend of approaches including cognitive behavioral methods, client-centered work, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and psychodynamic ideas. She adapts the way she talks and plans treatment to fit each person’s needs and goals.
Seeking change can feel scary, and Ann focuses on supporting and empowering people through that first step. She invites prospective clients to reach out when they are ready to begin.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Ann uses client-centered therapy, which means sessions focus on the person’s experience and priorities and the therapist follows the client’s lead to build understanding and confidence. This approach helps when someone needs a calm listening space and clear support for everyday struggles.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and finds practical steps to change patterns that interfere with sleep, mood, or daily functioning. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep-related difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, preferences, and situation. That collaborative choice can change over time as needs shift.
