Voorhees began clinical work after completing her graduate degree in 1986.
Background and approach
Early in her career she assessed and treated children suspected of sexual abuse and later provided care for adult survivors and adolescent offenders. Over time her practice shifted toward adults and mature adults facing anxiety, low self-worth, emotional fatigue, and work- or life-related distress. Her counseling style avoids stigmatizing labels.
Sessions are conversational and tailored to each person’s needs. She blends approaches so therapy focuses on practical changes and deeper understanding rather than a single method. Ann uses cognitive-behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and build new routines.
She brings client-centered listening to ensure people feel heard and understood. Mindfulness practices are offered to help reduce rumination and improve focus. She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at long-standing patterns and Motivational Interviewing to boost readiness for change.
Together these tools support symptom relief, clearer decisions, and steadier coping during life transitions.
How Ann's Approaches Work Online
Client-centered work focuses on listening and reflecting so people feel understood and able to set their own goals. This helps with low self-worth, relationship worries, and when someone needs a steady supportive space to talk.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviors that increase distress and teaches concrete skills to change them. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, ADHD-related routines, and sleep or eating concerns.
Mindfulness Therapy introduces brief exercises to slow racing thoughts and improve attention. These practices are useful for stress, rumination, and managing emotional reactivity.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify what feels most helpful, adjust the plan over time, and set small, achievable goals together.
Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals in video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face dialog and visual cues, phone can be lower bandwidth and easier when on the go, live chat supports brief check-ins, and messaging is useful for ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make scheduling more flexible and help fit therapy into busy lives.
