My recommendation is to add rugs, think when you walk into an empty house and it echoes, but furniture and rugs make it a lot softer in sound. This would be a great budget friendly option. I also recommend some sound dampening behind the TV, but you might also consider getting a speaker. Usually tv speakers are against the wall, but the speaker is directionally in the place you put it. Depending on where your office is, lots of pictures, tapestries, and curtains. Curtains all over the house ideally. It will help substantially. Fabric really dampers sound.
For privacy, especially when working, or therapy, get a sound machine. My therapist's office has them placed outside every door and it works. You can never tell who is there. You can't hear anything. I'd recommend getting one and just running it constantly. :)

But definitely invest in rugs and curtains!
