About Ann
Ann Voorhees is an LCSW in Florida with 38 years of experience. She returned to direct clinical work after many years as a psychiatric and human services administrator. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, and parenting strain.
Early in her career she assessed and treated children suspected of sexual abuse and later worked with adult survivors and adolescent sex offenders. Over time her practice broadened to adults and mature adults wrestling with low self-worth, fatigue, anger, and life changes that affect work and family roles.
Her style is interactive and person-focused. Sessions include talk, problem solving, and practical steps to change thoughts and behaviors that get in the way. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered methods, Mindfulness, Motivational Interviewing, and Psychodynamic ideas depending on the issue.
In therapy she avoids stigmatizing labels and treats people with respect and sensitivity. Conversations are used to clarify patterns, test different ways of responding, and build clearer goals for daily life. She also supports people dealing with caregiver stress, blended family issues, codependency, and coping after disasters.
Ann works with concerns such as bipolar disorder symptoms, ADHD, compassion fatigue, eating and sleeping problems, aging and geriatric issues, and end-of-life or hospice related stress. She helps clients develop coping strategies, communication skills, and steps to improve mood and return to everyday routines.
How her methods translate to online work
Ann integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy in straightforward ways. CBT focuses on noticing and testing unhelpful thoughts and habits, then trying new responses that can change mood and behavior. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes clear, respectful conversation where the client’s perspective guides the plan. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and improve everyday focus.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. She will discuss goals and preferences and recommend which methods to emphasize. Sessions can shift over time as goals change, mixing practical CBT steps with reflective, person-centered discussion and mindfulness practice.
The biography does not specify which online formats are offered, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when a quick touchpoint is needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists and licensed professionals commonly adapt homework, skill practice, and tracking tools to remote sessions so that progress continues between meetings.
