Ann Voorhees, LCSW

Ann Voorhees is a Florida LCSW with 38 years of experience. She returned to direct clinical work after many years as a psychiatric and human services administrator. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, and codependency among other concerns.

She began her clinical career assessing and treating children suspected of sexual abuse and later worked with adult survivors and adolescent sex offenders. Over time her practice broadened to focus on adults and mature adults who struggle with low self-worth, emotional and physical fatigue, anger, and symptoms that affect work and daily life.

Her counseling style is interactive and respectful. She avoids stigmatizing labels and centers conversations on the person's experience. Sessions focus on practical change as well as understanding patterns that keep someone stuck.

Ann uses a blend of approaches including cognitive-behavioral methods, client-centered ideas, psychodynamic perspectives, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. That mix lets her shift between short-term problem solving and deeper exploration depending on what is useful.

In a typical session she talks through current problems, identifies unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, and practices skills for handling stress, relationships, sleep, and mood. She also draws on life-story work when deeper patterns like abandonment or family-of-origin issues are part of the concern.

People who reach out are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Ann accepts international clients and conducts work from Florida in English.
