Ann Morris, LMHC — Therapist in Florida

Hi there, I'm Ann!

Everyone needs someone to talk to in order to help resolve problems, manage stress, process trauma, or enhance coping skills. I believe in looking at what you want to accomplish as the goal of therapy and then working on skills to achieve that goal.

My focus

I enjoy working with individuals ages 10 and up and clients who need assistance in dealing with trauma, depression, anxiety, stress, and substance-related issues. I enjoy my work with the LGBTQ+ community as well, and I have worked with transgender youth and young adults in this area.

My approach

I utilize cognitive-behavioral techniques, solution-focused, and person-centered approaches. When needed, I involve family if you're willing and if it will enhance our work together. I believe everyone has the tools inside them to achieve their goals; it's about unlocking and utilizing them.

My communication style

I believe in open and honest communication, as this is what works to achieve goals in therapy. I will provide you support as you look to achieve your goals and will also offer direct suggestions as needed.

My journey to mental healthcare

I started my career in 1995 in mental health counseling. Then I moved to substance use counseling, and while my son was in school, I was a school counselor. After moving to FL, I have returned to my passion, which is mental health/substance use counseling. I love helping others become the best version of themselves.

My goals for you

I believe in you guiding the goal of therapy, as only then will it work. I will work with you as you identify what you would like to achieve by attending therapy. We will review progress regularly and revise goals as needed.

Our first session

My first session I see as a get to know each other. During this session, I will ask questions so I can better understand your needs and look to understand your past experiences.
