Ann Dennis

Ann Dennis is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas. She holds a master’s degree in counseling from Tarleton State University and brings seven years of clinical experience to her work. Ann draws on a long background in public education to shape how she connects with people who feel stuck or alone.

She spent 30 years in education, including 13 years as a school counselor. Those roles included parent engagement coordination and campus leadership. That experience informs her practical approach to talking about relationship strain, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, anger, and depression.

In sessions she aims to build an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can name what’s hardest and try new ways of coping. She tends to focus on clear goals and small steps clients can take between meetings. Ann also addresses related concerns such as abandonment, body image, communication problems, grief around divorce or separation, and issues of guilt and shame.

Her work includes helping people who struggle with impulsivity, mood and panic symptoms, post-traumatic stress, and challenges around self-love and sexuality. Isolation and loneliness are noted areas she addresses, especially when they link to relationships or past hurts. Ann encourages practical skills practice alongside conversations about meaning and values.

She offers care in English and works with people seeking support for everyday strains and deeper life transitions. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is used to help connect people with her and schedule an initial session according to availability.

How these approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values despite uncomfortable thoughts or feelings. It can be useful for loneliness, relationship strain, and mood issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaches concrete strategies to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for mood symptoms, panic, and anger. Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes the person’s own perspective and pacing, with the therapist offering empathetic listening and gentle reflection rather than direction.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each client about their needs, goals, and preferences and then try methods that fit. If an approach doesn't feel right, adjustments can be made so sessions stay relevant and useful.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not specified in the therapist biography. Many people find online sessions help fit care into busy days, make it easier to attend from different locations, and allow focused check-ins without lengthy travel. Discuss scheduling and format options when you complete the matching questionnaire to find what fits your routine.
