About Ann

Ann Morris is a licensed mental health counselor in Florida with 30 years of professional experience. She helps people who are managing stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, and questions related to LGBT identity. She aims to treat people with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Seeking help can feel hard, and she offers steady support through that first step.

In sessions she listens to understand each person’s needs and goals. She works with clients to build a treatment plan that fits their situation. That plan is practical and focused on what can change day to day. The work often includes talking through coping skills, handling strong emotions, and planning small steps toward recovery.

Ann draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. She emphasizes collaboration so the client and therapist shape priorities together. Over time the work may shift from managing immediate symptoms to building longer-term strategies for resilience and wellbeing.

Her experience includes helping people with issues connected to abandonment, attachment, body image, caregiver stress, codependency, communication and control problems, divorce and separation, domestic violence, adoption and foster care concerns, aging issues, blended family stress, and disaster-related coping. She also has experience with Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder and commitment issues.

Ann conducts sessions in English and works from her Florida practice. She aims to empower people as they make changes and to provide steady, practical guidance throughout the process.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online care

Ann uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide work on stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, and depression. Evidence-based approaches focus on skills and strategies that have been studied and shown to help with these problems. For example, a skills-focused approach teaches practical tools for managing anxiety and cravings, such as breathing, planning, and stepwise behavioral changes. A trauma-informed approach helps people process difficult experiences at a careful pace while building safety and stability.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Ann collaborates with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals and situation. That means starting with a few priorities, trying strategies, and adjusting plans over time based on what is helpful.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats offered before booking. Many people find online sessions can fit work and family schedules more easily, reduce travel time, and make it simpler to keep regular appointments. Online work can also allow shorter check-ins when a full session is not needed or let someone avoid being on camera when that helps them stay focused. Talk with the therapist about how to structure sessions so they fit your day-to-day life and your therapeutic goals.
