About Ann
Ann Voorhees is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship or intimacy concerns. She also supports those coping with trauma and abuse, addiction-related struggles, parenting strain, career stress, and codependency. Ann writes plainly and listens closely to understand what matters most to each person.
Ann returned to direct clinical work after a long career as a psychiatric and human services administrator. She earned her graduate degree in 1986 and began her clinical career working with children suspected of sexual abuse. Over time she broadened her practice to include adult survivors of abuse and adolescents who had offended sexually, and later to adults and mature adults with mood and anxiety symptoms.
Her counseling style is warm and interactive. She treats people with respect and compassion and avoids stigmatizing labels. In sessions she uses straightforward conversation to learn what feels out of balance and what clients want to change.
Ann draws on several therapeutic approaches and adapts them to each person’s needs. She commonly uses client-centered techniques, cognitive behavioral ideas, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and psychodynamic perspectives to shape a collaborative plan.
People who choose Ann can expect practical, steady support aimed at clearer thinking, improved coping, and greater emotional balance. She frames work as a partnership and focuses on small, achievable steps toward a more satisfying life.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and helping clients set their own goals; it’s useful for people wanting a supportive space to sort feelings and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, emotions, and behavior and teaches practical skills for anxiety, depression, and unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness Therapy uses simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve day-to-day focus.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Ann works collaboratively to match methods to a person’s goals and preferences. She adapts techniques over time so the plan fits what actually helps in day-to-day life.
