About Anna
Anna Owens is a Tennessee licensed professional counselor-mental health service provider (LPC-MHSP) with 11 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, grief, and coping with life changes. Anna also addresses concerns like ADHD, intimacy issues, anger, self-esteem, career stress, and compassion fatigue.
Her approach is practical and relational. Sessions focus on noticing what is happening in day-to-day life and learning specific skills to cope. She draws on methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and client-centered ideas to help people make changes that fit their situations.
Anna encourages honest, direct work in session. Clients will talk through difficult feelings, take stock of where they are, and try out small changes between meetings. She emphasizes setting boundaries, building inner worth, and developing concrete tools for managing emotions and relationships.
She has experience helping people navigate toxic or narcissistic relationships and the fallout that follows. That can include rebuilding trust in oneself, learning communication patterns that protect emotional health, and steadying routines after major relationship changes.
People who choose to work with Anna can expect a mix of skills training and reflective conversation. The focus is on practical steps - coping techniques, boundary-setting, and improving daily functioning - rather than abstract theory. She works collaboratively to make therapy relevant to each person’s life.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck. It focuses on clarifying values and taking small actions that align with what matters most, which is helpful for life transitions and feeling lost after big changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It offers concrete exercises for anxiety, depression, and unhelpful thinking patterns, such as thought records and behavioral experiments.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and handling crises with steadier responses. It is useful when strong mood swings, anger, or relationship instability are present.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. That collaborative process helps shape sessions so they match each person’s needs rather than imposing a single method.
The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm the available options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a student or work schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Therapists can adapt exercises and homework to an online setting so progress continues between meetings.
