About Ann

Ann Voorhees, LCSW, brings 38 years of clinical and administrative experience to her therapy work from her Florida practice.

Background and approach

She returned to direct psychotherapy after a long career in psychiatric and human services leadership, and she has spent much of her career assessing and treating survivors of abuse, children at risk, and adolescents with challenging behaviors.

Over time her focus broadened to supporting adults and mature adults coping with anxiety, depression, low self-worth, fatigue, anger, ADHD, and the ripple effects these concerns have on work and relationships. Her style is described as warm, interactive, and respectful, with an emphasis on sensitivity and avoiding stigmatizing labels.

She blends client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral techniques, psychodynamic exploration, mindfulness, and motivational strategies to craft individualized treatment plans. Ann aims to tailor conversations and interventions to each person’s history and goals, helping them move toward greater fulfillment, resilience, and emotional balance.

She welcomes those ready to take steps toward change and offers collaborative support throughout the process.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy



Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and supporting clients as they explore their values and goals; it helps people who need acceptance, reflection, and a collaborative space to make changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and developing practical skills to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, and anger. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and attention skills that can reduce emotional reactivity and support coping with stress and fatigue.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Over time techniques can be blended or adjusted as progress and priorities emerge, so clients can expect an individualized plan rather than a one-size-fits-all protocol.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can make it easier to fit regular sessions into busy schedules or to continue care from different locations. These formats allow licensed professionals to use CBT worksheets, mindfulness exercises, motivational strategies, and psychodynamic reflection in ways that suit a client’s communication style and daily life.
