Ann Dennis

Ann Dennis brings a long history in education to her counseling work. She holds a master’s degree in counseling and is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas. Ann focuses on helping people navigate relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, anger, and depression.

Before moving into full-time counseling she spent 30 years in public education, including 13 years as a school counselor. She also worked as a parent engagement coordinator and on campus leadership teams. This background shaped her practical, down-to-earth approach to helping people solve problems and cope with stress.

In sessions she aims to build an open, nonjudgmental space for people to talk about what matters to them. Conversations tend to be straightforward and goal oriented, with attention to thoughts, behaviors, and daily habits that get in the way of feeling better. She often uses mindfulness and acceptance ideas to help reduce reactivity and increase calm.

Ann also uses cognitive behavioral and solution-focused tools to help people identify patterns and take small, doable steps forward. She pays attention to issues like abandonment, communication problems, body image, and loneliness alongside mood and trauma-related symptoms. Many people seek her support around divorce and separation and the practical emotions that follow.

Her aim is to support individuals as they work toward clearer thinking, healthier routines, and stronger self-compassion. She encourages straightforward conversation about goals and offers collaborative planning so people can try manageable changes between sessions.

Approaches that guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then act in ways that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and difficulties that follow separation or loss.)

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and helping the client set the pace. This approach supports people who need a steady, nonjudgmental place to sort through emotions and decisions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns. It often helps with mood problems, panic, and stress reactions after trauma.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasnt helped before. They will try methods that fit the persons needs and adjust the plan as progress is seen.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because the biography does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, shorten check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Ask about current session options when you sign up so sessions match your day-to-day life.
