About Doris
Dr. Doris "Dee" Hann-Morrison offers a direct, strengths-based approach that centers the client's goals. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 25 years of experience. Dr. Hann-Morrison asks clients to come ready to grow and to make tangible changes in their lives.
She focuses on where the client wants to go and uses the assets the client already has. Sessions mix clear guidance with encouragement, and she will both support progress and challenge unhelpful thinking. Spirituality is included when the client chooses it, and faith is not assumed or required.
Much of her work has been with women of color, and she has written books on that topic, including Even Superwoman Needs To Cry Sometimes. That background informs her attention to cultural values and life stage concerns without making culture the only focus.
Dr. Hann-Morrison commonly helps people with addiction, grief, self-esteem, depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, parenting stress, and career transitions. She also addresses caregiving strain, codependency, body image, and end-of-life matters when these issues arise.
Her style draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centered and existential ideas, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. Expect practical conversation, clear goals, and an emphasis on small steps that fit into everyday life.
How her therapy approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes noticing thoughts and values-based action. It helps people move toward what matters to them even when they feel stuck or anxious. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and following the client’s lead so goals grow from the client’s own priorities. Motivational Interviewing is a short-term style that helps people resolve mixed feelings and find internal motivation to change.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work together with the client to identify which methods fit best for their goals and preferences. That process is collaborative and can change as needs shift over time.
Confirm current session options before booking, since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, allow quieter surroundings when needed, and reduce travel time. It also makes it possible to check in during transitions like work breaks or caregiving windows. Licensed professionals can tailor pacing and tools to what works for the client, whether that means shorter check-ins or focused goal sessions.
