Dr. Doris "Dee" Hann-Morrison, LPC

Dr. Doris "Dee" Hann-Morrison uses a practical, direct style that helps people move toward clear goals. She is an LPC with 25 years of experience and encourages clients to bring readiness for change. Her approach focuses on clients' strengths and on honest conversation that challenges unhelpful thinking.

She has worked extensively with women of color and has written about their journeys, including a book titled "Even Superwoman Needs To Cry Sometimes." Spirituality often plays a role in sessions when the client chooses to include it. The therapist aims to respect cultural values while helping people identify what matters most to them.

Sessions emphasize setting reachable goals and using the client's existing assets to make progress. The therapist blends acceptance-based ideas with mindfulness and motivational techniques. This means noticing what is happening now, clarifying values, and taking committed steps toward change.

Dr. Hann-Morrison is direct but supportive; she will both encourage and challenge clients as needed. She also draws from existential ideas to help people find meaning during life transitions such as grief, midlife shifts, caregiving changes, and losses related to aging.

People commonly bring concerns about anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship strain, parenting stress, or trauma. The therapist aims to help with practical coping, clearer decisions about next steps, and building habits that support ongoing well-being.

How her approaches shape online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, practical steps toward those values. It is useful for handling anxiety, low mood, midlife decisions, and situations that feel stuck. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance, and building a trusting space so people can find their own answers. That approach supports people who need a respectful, nonjudgmental place to work through change.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best based on goals, life demands, and personal style. This is a team effort where preferences and practical needs guide choices about techniques and pace.

The practical value of remote work is fitting sessions into a busy life. Online therapy can make scheduling easier and reduce travel time so sessions can occur around work, caregiving, or medical appointments. Before booking, confirm which session formats are currently offered, since format options are not specified here. The therapist and client can then arrange sessions that fit routines and support steady progress.
