Deirdre Owens , LCPC

Deirdre Owens is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor who focuses on helping women navigate stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, and depression. She offers a calm, respectful presence and aims to make conversations feel straightforward and useful. Many clients come for help with family strain, attachment concerns, or finding a clearer sense of purpose. She uses practical, evidence-informed methods to help people change unhelpful patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy are part of her toolkit for mood and anxiety concerns. Attachment-Based and Client-Centered approaches guide how she builds trust and listens closely to each person's story. Deirdre adapts sessions to fit what each person needs. That can mean working on day-to-day coping skills, practicing new ways to communicate, or exploring difficult emotions like guilt and shame. She also supports people dealing with chronic illness, blended family challenges, and identity or multicultural stressors. Her background includes five years of clinical experience and licensure in Nevada as an LCPC, which is shorthand for Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor. That experience informs straightforward plans that focus on small, workable changes. Sessions move at a person’s pace, with clear goals and practical steps between meetings. Deirdre aims to help clients build self-compassion, reduce panic and social anxiety, and find clearer direction in life. She works in English and does not take international clients.

Approaches that fit online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values rather than getting stuck. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and finding direction when life feels overwhelming.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with practical exercises and homework. It often helps with panic, social anxiety, low mood, and building concrete coping skills.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and suggest methods that match those priorities. Over a few sessions they check what works and adjust the plan together.

Online formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat and text work well for brief updates, practicing skills between sessions, or when typing feels more comfortable than talking. These options give flexibility so people can choose what fits their schedule and communication style.
