About Ann
Ann Voorhees, Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida, has 38 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, ADHD, parenting, and related issues. Ann describes her style as warm and interactive and says she combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic, and rational-emotive counseling to shape treatment.
Ann began clinical work after completing graduate school in 1986. Early in her career she assessed and treated children suspected of sexual abuse, later working with adult survivors of abuse and adolescent sex offenders. Over the years her caseload shifted toward adults and mature adults dealing with anxiety, depression, low self-worth, fatigue, and anger that affect work and daily life.
Her sessions emphasize direct dialog. She uses cognitive strategies to address unhelpful thoughts and psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat over time. Motivational techniques are used when people want to change habits or substance use. Mindfulness practices are introduced to reduce stress and improve coping.
Ann values respect and sensitivity and avoids stigmatizing labels. She aims to adapt conversations and plans to each person's situation rather than impose a fixed protocol. Her background also includes many years as a psychiatric and human services administrator before returning to clinical practice.
People considering therapy will find a practitioner who draws on long experience with trauma and adult mood concerns. The focus is practical work on symptoms, relationship struggles, parenting stress, and life changes, using concrete strategies and reflective dialogue to support change.

Approaches explained and what online work looks like
Ann uses cognitive-behavioral therapy to identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors; this approach helps with anxiety, depression, and many everyday problems. She also brings psychodynamic ideas into sessions to look at recurring relationship and emotional patterns that began earlier in life. Mindfulness techniques are used to build attention and reduce stress through simple grounding and breathing practices.Choosing the best approach is part of the work. Ann will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, preferences, and the problems they want to address. Decisions about focus and pacing are made together and revisited over time.
