About Doris

Dr. Doris "Dee" Hann-Morrison uses practical, direct therapeutic approaches to help people move toward clear goals. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor - LPC with 25 years of experience and she writes and speaks about issues facing women of color.

Her style is straightforward: she supports growth while also challenging unhelpful thinking. Sessions focus on using a person’s existing strengths to make changes that matter. She has worked with concerns such as addictions, grief, depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting, and relationship struggles.

Background and approach

Her practice also addresses stress, self-esteem, intimacy-related issues, caregiver strain, and end-of-life or hospice concerns. Spirituality is sometimes part of the work when clients want to include it. Dr.

Hann-Morrison blends approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centered techniques, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to match what each person needs. She listens for values and priorities, then helps clients take small steps toward those goals. Conversations are practical and paced to each person’s readiness to change.

Her background includes many years serving women of color and writing on that topic, including the book Even Superwoman Needs To Cry Sometimes. That experience informs a culturally aware, respectful way of engaging with clients. Sessions are offered in English and are scheduled around client needs.

People can expect a direct yet compassionate clinician who helps them clarify goals and build on strengths.

How her methods translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take committed steps toward those values. Online ACT sessions focus on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that align with personal priorities, which is useful for issues like depression, anxiety, and life transitions.

Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience and priorities. In this approach the therapist listens deeply, reflects understanding, and follows the client’s lead to build insight and confidence. It is helpful for improving self-esteem, navigating grief, and making sense of difficult changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. That collaborative process guides whether ACT, client-centered techniques, mindfulness practices, or other methods are used in sessions.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, allow ongoing contact between sessions, and support different communication styles. The mix of approaches and flexible delivery helps people pursue steady progress from wherever they are.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Existential Therapy

Takes the larger questions seriously: meaning, choice, mortality, responsibility. Suited to periods when the difficulty is less a symptom than a sense that something has to change.
