About
Ann Voorhees is a licensed clinical social worker who returned to direct psychotherapy after many years in psychiatric and human services administration. She earned her graduate degree in 1986 and began a clinical career assessing and treating children suspected of sexual abuse. Her early work expanded to include adults who survived abuse and adolescents who had offended sexually.
Over nearly four decades she broadened her practice to support adults and mature adults experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, anger, low self worth, and fatigue that affect daily functioning. Her practice also addresses a wide range of life challenges and relationship concerns listed among her specialties.
Her counseling style is described in her own words as warm and interactive. She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion and avoids stigmatizing labels. Ann combines cognitive behavioral techniques, psychodynamic and humanistic perspectives, and rational emotive ideas to shape treatment. Each dialog and treatment plan is adapted to the individual, with an emphasis on practical steps and personal strengths as clients pursue change.

Online and Remote Therapy Options
Ann offers remote therapy that draws on cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, and psychodynamic exploration to address symptoms and life challenges. Cognitive behavioral work focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior and developing practical strategies to manage stress and anxiety. Mindfulness supports present moment awareness and self calming skills. Psychodynamic discussion explores personal history and relational patterns that influence current feelings and choices.
She frames these approaches in a client centered way, tailoring conversations and treatment planning to an individual’s needs. This collaborative model suits people who want an interactive, respectful process that balances short term coping strategies with deeper reflection on recurring patterns. Ann works with adults and mature adults as noted in her background.
Remote sessions are available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text based messaging. These options allow clients to stay connected through the channel that best fits their schedule and communication preferences.
