Ann Dennis, LPC

Ann Dennis is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with seven years of counseling experience. She combines a calm presence with practical strategies to help people who are dealing with relationship strain, depression, anger, trauma, and intimacy-related concerns.

She aims to make the first step easier by listening closely and creating a nonjudgmental space. Sessions focus on what feels most important to the person in front of her. Ann uses clear, down-to-earth language so people can try ideas between meetings.

Her work often includes short-term, goal-focused techniques alongside longer conversations about meaning and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy are commonly woven into sessions to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different responses. Mindfulness and client-centered ideas also shape how she supports emotional regulation and self-understanding.

Ann draws on years in public education and school counseling to relate to everyday stressors and family dynamics. That background informs a practical, problem-solving style that also makes room for feelings like grief, shame, and fear. She helps people name what matters and take small steps toward change.

People who appreciate straightforward guidance and a warm, accepting listener often do well with her approach. She offers a mix of tools, reflection, and support so clients can build more satisfying relationships with themselves and others.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Ann uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT is useful for mood disorders, panic, and patterns that keep problems stuck. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is also part of her work and focuses on clarifying values and taking meaningful action even when difficult emotions are present. ACT can help with anxiety, trauma responses, and improving life direction.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and shared visual cues, while phone appointments can work when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging can be used for shorter check-ins or when someone prefers written communication. These options make it easier to fit counseling into a busy schedule and keep momentum between sessions.
