About Ann

Ann Dennis is a Licensed Professional Counselor with seven years of counseling experience and a background in K-12 education. She earned a master's degree in counseling and holds an LPC from Tarleton State University in Texas. Ann brings a calm, practical presence to sessions and focuses on helping people move through hard moments toward clearer choices.

Her earlier work in public education included roles as a school counselor, Parent Engagement Coordinator, and campus leadership team member. Those positions shaped her focus on communication, problem solving, and steady support during transitions. She draws on that experience when helping people address relationship strain, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, anger, and depression.

Ann uses straightforward approaches that help people notice what matters and take small, workable steps. She incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ideas, along with client-centered listening and mindfulness exercises. Solution-focused tools are used to set concrete short-term goals and track progress.

Clients can expect a conversational style that prioritizes listening and practical strategies. Ann tends to work on problems like abandonment, body image, isolation, panic attacks, and midlife crisis concerns by helping clients clarify values and try new behaviors. She emphasizes building skills people can use outside sessions.

Her practice is based in Texas and sessions are conducted in English. Therapy follows a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and cost varies with location and therapist availability. To begin, readers complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on availability.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Ann often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people name what matters to them, notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck, and take committed steps toward a chosen life. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and midlife decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce distress and improve mood; it can help with panic attacks, mood disorders, and anger management.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ann will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is revisited as progress is made so the plan can shift if something isn’t helping.

Because specific session formats are not listed in the biography, confirm current online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and let people choose quieter surroundings that work for them. Therapists and licensed professionals guide how to use techniques between sessions, which helps turn what’s discussed into everyday change.
