About Doris

Dr. Doris "Dee" Hann-Morrison uses a direct, goal-focused approach to help people move forward. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 25 years of experience and centers sessions on the client's goals and strengths. She asks clients to come ready to do the work of change while offering steady support and challenge.

Dr. Hann-Morrison has a long history of working with women of color and has written books on that topic, including Even Superwoman Needs To Cry Sometimes. Her work respects cultural values and often includes spirituality when clients want that as part of their care. She emphasizes practical steps and clear goals rather than open-ended talk.

Her practice addresses many concerns people bring, such as anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, stress, relationship and intimacy issues, and coping with life changes. She also focuses on caregiver strain, aging and geriatric issues, body image, and multicultural concerns. Sessions weave together clients' strengths with targeted therapeutic strategies.

Dr. Hann-Morrison uses approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Existential ideas, Mindfulness, and Motivational Interviewing to guide work on values, motivation, and present-moment awareness. She challenges unhelpful thinking while supporting new behaviors and choices.

People who choose her often want clear direction, culturally aware care, and a clinician who will both hold them accountable and honor their background. Her style fits those who are ready to set goals and take practical steps toward change.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Dr. Hann-Morrison uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify their values and take committed action even when emotions are difficult. ACT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions by focusing on what matters rather than fighting thoughts. She also draws from Client-Centered Therapy, providing a respectful, nonjudgmental stance that centers the client's experience and helps people feel heard and understood. This approach supports self-directed growth and stronger self-esteem.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. She combines practical exercises, reflective conversation, and steps toward change so clients can test what helps and adjust as they go.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people practice skills in real life between meetings and keep momentum during life changes.
