Dr. Ann Moore

Dr. Ann Moore is a licensed psychologist who helps people manage anger, anxiety, stress, depression, and other emotional struggles. She is known for working with late-stage adolescents and young adults who face difficult life transitions. Parents seeking guidance for family dynamics can also find practical coaching and support here.

Dr. Moore uses straightforward, hands-on methods in sessions. She draws on cognitive behavior ideas to change unhelpful patterns and on positive psychology to build strengths. Sessions emphasize clear skills people can try between meetings, such as behavior changes, thought tracking, and mindfulness practices.

Her background includes a Doctor of Philosophy in School Psychology from Indiana University, awarded in 1993. Over a twenty-year career she has been an outpatient therapist and a behavioral consultant. Those roles shaped her focus on practical problem solving and family-related concerns.

She keeps the therapy space warm and supportive. People can expect a calm, collaborative tone and step-by-step coaching when working on issues like panic attacks, mood swings, impulsivity, or caregiver stress. The goal is better day-to-day functioning and improved relationships.

Dr. Moore combines evidence-based techniques with a gentle coaching style. She helps clients find small changes that add up to noticeable differences. Work often includes setting goals, practicing new behaviors, and building on natural resilience.

How her methods translate to online therapy

Dr. Moore often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful reactions and choose values-based actions instead. It is useful for issues like anger, anxiety, and feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches concrete skills to reduce symptoms and change reactions.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods match their goals and comfort level. Sessions usually start by identifying immediate problems, then testing simple strategies together to see what helps most.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the specific session formats available before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments around school, work, or caregiving duties, and it can reduce travel time. It can also allow for shorter check-ins or more flexible scheduling when life gets busy. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and CBT exercises to an online setting so people can practice skills between visits and bring progress back into sessions.
