About Ann
Ann Wheeler is a Tennessee Licensed Professional Counselor - Mental Health Service Provider (LPC-MHSP) with 10 years of experience. She works with people seeking help for stress, anxiety, self-esteem struggles, career difficulties, and depression. She also focuses on social anxiety and phobia and related concerns like isolation and workplace issues.
Ann keeps sessions practical and direct. She talks through what is happening now, helps identify patterns that keep problems going, and works with clients to try different ways of responding. Conversations are focused on everyday steps that can reduce overwhelm and rebuild confidence.
Her background includes a decade of practice in varied settings where she supported people with midlife questions, changes in work and money, and periods of low motivation. That experience informs straightforward strategies for handling mood shifts, guilt or shame, and impulsive reactions.
Ann pays attention to how communication and relationship stress affect day-to-day life. She helps people practice clearer ways to express needs and set boundaries at work or in personal roles. Sessions include concrete skills and short experiments to try between meetings.
People who are worried about speaking up, meeting new people, or being judged often come with concerns about social anxiety and phobia. Ann helps break challenges into small, manageable steps so progress can be noticed and built on over time.
Therapeutic approaches and how online work fits in
Many evidence-based therapeutic techniques rely on learning new responses and testing them in daily life. Cognitive-style approaches focus on the thoughts that increase worry or avoidance and teach ways to notice and shift unhelpful thinking. These methods can help with anxiety, mood, and self-doubt by offering clear steps to try when difficult situations arise. Behavioral approaches emphasize small, planned steps to face feared situations and build confidence through practice. That approach can be useful for social anxiety and phobia and for overcoming avoidance patterns.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, day-to-day demands, and what feels doable. Changes are planned together and adjusted based on what helps most.
Confirm the session formats offered before booking, as current options are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also allow practicing skills between sessions in regular settings and reviewing what worked at the next meeting. If format details matter, check the available options when you start the matching process.
