About
As one who has experienced trauma and grief, I bring to the counseling approach of compassion and experience how one's world can be negatively impacted. I believe in empowering men and women to become the best version of their normal while instilling pride and resilience that they can overcome obstacles in their life.

As one who has experienced personal trauma and loss, I have an authentic understanding of the impact of trauma on wellbeing and how working through this, we can gain a greater capacity for empathy and empowerment.
Hi, I'm Ann Moore, LPC-MHSP. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Tennessee. I've been a mental health counselor for 6 years working with children, adolescents, families and adults. I've met clients in person and with Telehealth. My clients have wanted help with anxiety, depression, social anxiety, panic attacks, substance use addictions, traumatic memories, stress, adjustment to life changes, PTSD, eating disorders, grief, impulsivity, anger problems, and other issues. I've helped them grow, by collaborating with them on goals and objectives for addressing their specific needs.
I meet my clients where they are, by using a Person-Centered approach. We work together to find their unique strengths and needs. I use a variety of techniques to help clients gain insight into how they are feeling, thinking and reacting. This understanding helps them confidently navigate circumstances & interpersonal relationships and accept themselves.
Please know that you are not alone. Therapists like myself are eager to help, and come from a background that imparts empathy and understanding. Many symptoms can be reduced or resolved using research based techniques. Everyone, even counselors, benefit from being heard, learning and growing. Let me know if you're ready to take the next step together.

Anxiety therapy helps people better understand and manage their anxiety. Anxiety therapists at Thriveworks in Knoxville, TN can develop a treatment plan that will help you better manage your day-to-day anxiety or your anxiety disorder.
Anxiety therapy involves talking to a therapist about symptoms, potential causes, and more. Thriveworks Knoxville therapists will then work with you to determine where your anxiety might stem from and teach you effective coping mechanisms.
One of the best ways to deal with anxiety is to learn about your own anxiety: your symptoms, what triggers it, and what coping mechanisms have been effective in the past. When you learn what your anxiety is tied to, it can help you be mindful of what’s really happening as well as prevent and mitigate symptoms by processing and working through the issue in therapy. Other strategies that have been shown to help manage anxiety are meditation, challenging anxious thoughts, exercising, and journaling.
Common symptoms of anxiety include:
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can be incredibly effective in treating anxiety and anxiety disorders. Other effective techniques include exposure therapy, Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and EMDR therapy.
Anxiety therapy is conducted both in person and online, depending on the individual’s preferences and their therapist’s availability. We suggest choosing the option that best suits your needs.
On average, people can tend to attend 15 to 20 session of anxiety therapy (five or more months). However, this number is heavily dependent on the type of anxiety that’s being treated and its severity, with many choosing to attend anxiety therapy for a longer period of time to ensure its effectiveness long-term.
Yes, it is worth going to therapy for anxiety. If you are struggling with regular anxious thoughts and feelings that are affecting your day-to-day life or you suspect that you have an anxiety disorder, you should seek expert anxiety help.
