More about Ann

  • 38 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCSW

I recently decided to return to my passion for directly supporting others through psychotherapy after working many, many years as a psychiatric and human services administrator. I completed my graduate degree in 1986 and began my clinical career assessing and treating children who were suspected of being sexually abused; I went on to treat adult survivors of abuse and adolescent sex offenders. Since then, my practice has expanded to adults and mature adults experiencing symptoms of anxiety and depression - whose work and life are impacted by feelings of sadness, low self-worth, emotional and physical fatigue and anger.

My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic and rational-emotive counseling. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.

I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

On the first session I had with Ann, she made me comfortable and confident that I can open up to her in a way I have never have with anybody before. We can talk like we r old friends.

Since working with Ann I have literally done a 180 with my life. I’ve gone from feeling depressed and overwhelmed most days, hardly moving from my sofa, to feeling more confident in my own capabilities and optimistic about my future. She has encouraged me to regularly step out of my comfort zone and I’m now about to start an exciting and challenging new job which I couldn’t have imagined possible 6 months ago! Ann continues to hold a compassionate and non-judgemental ear but is not afraid to call BS on the excuses I use time after time. I am so grateful for my time with Ann and come out of every session feeling both lighter and clearer. Can’t recommend her enough!!

No review will do justice to how Ann Voorhees has helped me find my new different after the sudden death of a parent. We worked through so much more than just my grief, which was my primary concern. Now we work on other issues I have had and I feel stronger and supported. She hears me, she jokes with me, she lends an ear when I rant or sob. She recommends books to read, and sends me materials for when I need "homework". I feel like I am talking to a non-judgmental teacher aunt who has seen it all and would never tell on me. She calls me out on behaviors that aren't healthy, and in a way that works for me. I never want to miss a session, and I look forward to working through our sessions. I cannot recommend her enough, you would be in safe and capable hands with Ann. The only downside, is that she looks like she gives great hugs but you can't get one from her through the internet :(.

Ann is respectful and an artful listener. When I was in my manic episode she was able to calm my mind and bring me back to task. Ann was the correct fit for me as she has a great understanding of bipolar and menopause and of the UK systems. I shall miss my weekly sessions with her as I always felt uplifted after our sessions. I was able to video call, write to her outside of the sessions and do regular journals that I knew she would read and make comment on. We laughed, we cried I got better through her understanding and skills as a counsellor. Thanks Ann.
