About Ann

Ann Dennis is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with seven years of counseling experience. She trained at Tarleton State University and has a background that includes long work in public education. Ann helps people dealing with relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, anger, and depression.

She draws on practical, client-centered ways of working. Conversations focus on immediate problems and steps a person can try between sessions. Ann uses tools from cognitive behavioral approaches and mindfulness to help people notice patterns and try new choices in how they respond.

Her past roles in schools included school counselor and parent engagement coordinator. That experience shaped a straightforward style that values clear communication and concrete strategies. Expect conversations about communication, boundaries, and rebuilding trust after setbacks.

Ann also addresses issues connected to abandonment, body image, forgiveness, guilt and shame, impulsivity, isolation, midlife changes, mood or panic symptoms, post-traumatic stress, self-love, and sexuality. She works with these concerns through short-term goals and problem-focused work when that fits.

Sessions emphasize practical next steps more than long lectures. Clients often leave with a small plan to try before the next meeting. The focus is on managing strong feelings, improving interactions with others, and building steadier patterns over time.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting dominated by them, and then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for managing anger and rebuilding relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for mood, panic symptoms, and impulse control. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's experience so they can find their own solutions; it supports clearer communication and personal exploration.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss what feels most helpful and test a few methods together. Clients and therapist set goals and adjust methods based on what works in real life.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking since the profile does not list them. In general, online work can make scheduling easier and reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins during a busy day or let someone use an audio-only option when that fits better. These practical benefits help sessions fit into everyday life without promising a specific format.
