Anna Owens , LPC-MHSP

Anna Owens is a Licensed Professional Counselor - Mental Health Service Provider with 11 years of clinical experience. She works with adults and adolescents on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, and life transitions. Her style aims to be direct and compassionate so people can take practical steps forward.

She uses a mix of structured and reflective approaches. Sessions often focus on identifying patterns that cause pain, learning coping skills, and practicing new ways of relating to others and to oneself. Clients explore difficult feelings, build boundaries, and develop tools for everyday life.

Anna draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. She also uses acceptance-based and client-centered ideas to help people notice what matters most and act with intention. Dialectical strategies are included for managing strong emotions when needed.

Her work often addresses intimacy, narcissistic and toxic relationship dynamics, grief, addiction concerns, and caregiver strain. She also supports people facing career stress, body image struggles, and challenges tied to chronic illness or aging. ADHD and compassion fatigue are among other common topics she addresses.

Anna practices as an LPC-MHSP in Tennessee and offers sessions in English. She accepts international clients and adapts sessions to each person’s goals. Her approach is collaborative: she helps people set steps they can actually use between sessions.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions that fit your life

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take steps toward those values even when feelings are hard. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and life changes where people want direction and purpose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and tackling specific patterns that cause distress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships, which can help with anger, self-regulation, and relationship conflicts.

Finding the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will work with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, needs, and comfort. Sessions can mix methods over time so people get practical skills and space to reflect on deeper issues.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people work face to face from different locations. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth or camera use is an issue. Live chat and text-based messaging make brief check-ins or paced conversations possible between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules while still using proven therapeutic tools.
