Dr. Doris "Dee" Hann-Morrison , LPC

Dr. Doris "Dee" Hann-Morrison is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 25 years of experience helping women, especially women of color, navigate life transitions and emotional challenges. She has spent decades centering the experiences of women of color in her clinical work and in her writing, including the book 'Even Superwoman Needs To Cry Sometimes', which explores the pressures and healing journeys of women who carry a lot for others.

Her style is direct and goal-oriented; she encourages clients to come ready to grow and to use their existing strengths to promote change. While she offers strong support for healing, she also challenges unhelpful thinking patterns so clients can move toward their goals with clearer insight and practical steps.

Cultural values are treated with respect in therapy, and spirituality - understood broadly rather than strictly as religion - can be included when it serves the client's needs. Sessions are framed as the client's time and platform, a space to share and work through concerns without fear of judgment. Areas of focus include relationship and intimacy issues, addiction and recovery, grief and caregiving stress, trauma and abuse, self-esteem and mood concerns, and coping with life changes.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Dr. Hann-Morrison

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take meaningful action even when difficult thoughts and feelings are present; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and challenges with motivation and change. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the therapist follows the client's lead and helps build self-understanding and confidence, which can be helpful for relationship issues, self-esteem work, and grief. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and present-moment awareness techniques that reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation, useful for stress, trauma-related symptoms, and coping with life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Hann-Morrison works collaboratively with clients and with other licensed professionals to identify which methods best match each person's goals, preferences, and needs, adjusting the plan over time as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit care into busy schedules, manage caregiving responsibilities, or continue work during transitions. These options support consistent access to therapy and allow clients to engage in treatment in ways that feel most comfortable and convenient.
