About Ann

Dr. Ann Moore helps with common parenting and family concerns along with anxiety, depression, and stress. She is a licensed psychologist in Indiana who brings 20 years of practical experience to work with young adults and parents.

Her tone in sessions is warm and straightforward, focused on skills that people can use right away. She aims to make conversations feel calm and useful for someone juggling busy family life or big life changes.

Background and approach

Her approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and mindfulness practices. She uses clear, step-by-step techniques to shift unhelpful thinking and to build everyday habits that reduce anxiety and improve mood. Sessions include real skills practice and gentle reflection rather than long lectures.

Dr. Moore earned a doctorate in School Psychology from Indiana University in 1993. Since then she has worked as an outpatient therapist and behavioral consultant.

She also provides parent coaching to help household routines and communication feel more manageable. Her work draws on a foundation in positive psychology, which focuses on strengths, resilience, and practical ways to increase life satisfaction. She combines that with cognitive-behavioral tools to help people break old patterns and try new behaviors.

People who choose her often want straightforward guidance, concrete strategies, and a supportive setting to practice change. Her experience includes assisting with mood disorders, panic, ADHD-related concerns, caregiver stress, and transitions into adulthood.

How her approaches work online

Dr. Moore uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT breaks problems into small parts and teaches practical steps that reduce anxiety and improve mood. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps clients notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck and choose actions that match their values. ACT is useful for people facing life changes or persistent worry because it focuses on meaningful action rather than symptom elimination.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Then she and the client shape a plan that may combine techniques from different methods to fit the situation.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier for busy days, and live chat or text messaging helps keep momentum between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into family routines, work schedules, and transitions into adulthood while still using the same practical tools and collaborative planning described above.

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.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
