About Ann
Ann Wheeler is a Tennessee Licensed Professional Counselor - Mental Health Service Provider (LPC-MHSP) with 10 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, career struggles, depression, and life transitions. Ann also addresses communication problems, guilt and shame, impulsivity, loneliness, questions about life purpose, and workplace concerns.
Her style is practical and conversational. Sessions focus on clear goals, real-world coping strategies, and honest talk about what feels stuck. She adjusts the pace and topics to what a person needs day to day, rather than following a fixed script.
Ann draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage mood and anxiety, build confidence, and make thoughtful changes at work or in relationships. She encourages small experiments between sessions so people can test new ways of relating and behaving.
Clients can expect straightforward feedback and collaborative planning. The work emphasizes problem solving, noticing unhelpful patterns, and practicing different responses to stressful moments. Ann frames progress as a series of manageable steps rather than a single big fix.
Her approach also includes attention to difficult emotions like guilt and shame. She helps people sort out what those feelings mean, how they affect choices, and what practical moves can reduce their grip. Ann asks about values and priorities as part of deciding what changes matter most.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online work
Ann uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. Cognitive-style methods focus on noticing and changing unhelpful thoughts and behavioral patterns that fuel anxiety and depression. These methods help people rehearse alternative responses and test new ways of thinking in everyday situations.She also uses behavioral strategies that prioritize small, practical steps. That can include scheduling manageable activities, breaking big tasks into smaller parts, and practicing new communication skills. These moves aim to reduce avoidance and increase confidence over time.
Finding the best approach is collaborative. Ann partners with each person to weigh what feels most useful and to adjust methods based on progress and preference. She reviews goals together and shifts techniques if something is not helping.
