About Ann

Ann Morris is a licensed mental health counselor with 30 years of experience. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and issues related to addiction and LGBT concerns. Ann aims to listen carefully and respond with respect and compassion.

She begins by getting to know each person and their goals. Ann works with clients to create a plan that fits their situation. She emphasizes practical steps and steady support rather than quick fixes.

In sessions she focuses on understanding what led to current problems and on building skills to manage them. That can include ways to handle strong emotions, reduce anxiety, or cope with cravings and relapse triggers. She also helps people facing relationship and attachment struggles, caregiving stress, and life transitions that can feel overwhelming.

Ann draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. She tailors methods to individual needs instead of using a one-size-fits-all approach. The work is collaborative and paced to match what the client can manage.

Her practice is based in Florida and sessions are conducted in English. Ann recognizes that asking for help takes courage, and she focuses on offering steady support while people make meaningful changes in their lives.

How Ann Uses Evidence-Based Approaches Online

Ann uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical work. One common approach helps people learn skills to manage strong emotions and reduce anxiety through step-by-step practice. This type of work teaches breathing and grounding skills, thought strategies, and small behavioral changes that can reduce overwhelm.

Another approach she employs targets addiction and relapse prevention by identifying triggers and building coping skills. That method emphasizes planning for risky situations, developing routines that support recovery, and practicing new responses to cravings or urges.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Ann collaborates with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals and day-to-day life. She adjusts methods over time as needs and circumstances change so the work stays practical and relevant.
