About Ann

Ann Burris is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania with more than 35 years of experience. She has provided care across a range of settings, including colleges in New York and Pennsylvania and work in a psychiatric hospital, and brings that breadth of experience to each client encounter.

Throughout her career she has supported people facing grief and bereavement, depression, anxiety, trauma, LGBTQ+ concerns, and relationship difficulties. Her work is built on helping individuals recognize and strengthen their own resilience and grit, encouraging practical steps forward while honoring where each person begins.

Her counseling style is interactive and client-centered - she meets clients where they are and collaborates with them to move toward the changes they want. Mindfulness and self-care are central elements of her practice, with an emphasis on caring for oneself as a foundation for wellbeing. She often cites Eleanor Roosevelt’s idea that "All of life is a constant education" and looks forward to accompanying clients on their continuing journeys.

Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care

Ann Burris integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and mindfulness practices into her online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening deeply and building a collaborative relationship so clients feel understood and can explore their own goals; it is helpful for people navigating life transitions, relationship concerns, and self-esteem issues. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a practical, skills-based approach that helps identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns and replace them with strategies that reduce anxiety, depression, and panic symptoms. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and self-care techniques that can reduce reactivity and support coping with stress, grief, and trauma.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Ann works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds. Clients are active partners in deciding what feels most useful.

Online sessions - whether by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - offer practical flexibility for busy schedules and for those who prefer remote access. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, try different formats to see what works best, and access licensed professionals from wherever the client is located within the therapist’s service area.
