About Ann
Ann Dennis is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with seven years of counseling experience. She draws on a master’s degree in counseling and a long career in public education to address relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, anger, and depression.
She worked for three decades in schools, including 13 years as a school counselor and roles such as Parent Engagement Coordinator and campus leadership. That background shaped how she talks with people about family stress, communication problems, and life transitions. It also informs how she supports those struggling with abandonment, isolation, and midlife questions.
Her approach is direct and practical. She helps clients notice unhelpful thoughts and patterns, try different responses, and build small changes into daily life. Sessions focus on clear skills and short-term goals when that fits the person’s needs.
Ann uses a mix of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centered methods, mindfulness, and solution-focused strategies. She combines these to address mood disorders, panic and anxiety, post-traumatic stress, and difficulties with self-worth and body image.
She works with people on issues like divorce and separation, forgiveness, guilt and shame, impulsivity, sexuality concerns, and improving communication. Sessions are conducted in English in Texas, and she does not accept international clients. To begin, prospective clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions
Ann blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in accessible ways. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like panic, low mood, and anger. ACT encourages noticing thoughts without fighting them and committing to actions that reflect personal values, which can help with shame, avoidance, and relationship struggles.She also uses client-centered and solution-focused strategies to keep sessions practical and collaborative. That means she will listen for what matters to the client, set small actionable steps, and check in on what works. Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work together, and she will help decide which approach fits the client’s goals and preferences.
Confirm current session formats before booking, as options are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins during a lunch break, sessions that do not require travel, or using audio-only when bandwidth is limited. The focus is on making therapy practical and usable within day-to-day routines rather than promising a specific service model.
