Ann Dennis, LPC

Ann Dennis holds a master’s degree in counseling and is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who trained at Tarleton State University in Texas. She brings a long history of work in public education - three decades overall, including 13 years serving as a school counselor - and has held roles such as Parent Engagement Coordinator and member of campus leadership teams. Those experiences shaped her focus on supporting children, families, and adults as they seek healthier relationships and greater emotional well-being.

Her clinical experience includes work with relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, anger, and depression. She also attends to related issues such as abandonment, body image, communication problems, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, impulsivity, isolation and loneliness, midlife transitions, mood disorders, panic, post-traumatic stress, self-love, and sexuality. In sessions she emphasizes a nonjudgmental atmosphere that invites honest sharing of thoughts and feelings so people can take the courageous first steps toward a more fulfilling life.

Ann approaches healing as a collaborative process and supports clients through practical interventions and compassionate guidance to help them move toward their goals and strengthen their relationships.

Therapeutic Approaches Adapted for Online Care

Ann Dennis integrates evidence-informed methods into online sessions to meet clients where they are. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being controlled by them and supports movement toward valued life goals - it is often useful for anxiety, depression, and trauma-related patterns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy and respect, giving clients space to explore their experiences while the therapist offers support and reflection - this approach can help with relationship struggles, self-esteem, and processing emotional pain. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and developing practical skills to change them - it is effective for mood disorders, panic, and anger-related concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Ann works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences, and she will adjust techniques over time so the work remains relevant and effective. Licensed professionals often blend elements from different models to best support individual progress.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit care into busy schedules, manage energy levels, and access support from home or other convenient locations. These options help maintain continuity of care and allow therapy to move forward in ways that suit each person’s life.
