Anna Owens, LPC-MHSP

Anna Owens is a licensed psychotherapist who helps people facing anxiety, stress, depression, relationship problems, and grief. She works with adults and adolescents to build practical skills and clearer thinking. Her style is direct but compassionate, and she emphasizes real tools people can use between sessions.

With 11 years of experience and an LPC-MHSP credential, Anna draws on several evidence-based approaches, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and client-centered methods. She aims to tailor the work to each person’s needs rather than offering a one-size-fits-all plan. Sessions focus on understanding what matters to the person, shifting unhelpful thinking, and practicing new ways of coping.

Anna also addresses trauma, addiction, intimacy challenges, anger, low self-esteem, career strain, caregiver stress, and related concerns such as attachment and codependency. She helps people set boundaries, build self-worth, and make gradual changes that fit their everyday life. Her approach balances challenge with support so people can try new behaviors without feeling judged.

People who come to Anna can expect concrete strategies, reflective conversation, and step-by-step planning. She encourages taking inventory of current patterns and deciding what to keep or change. Over time the aim is not only to resolve immediate problems but to create space for healthier choices and growth.

Sessions are offered from Tennessee and conducted in English. Anna accepts international clients and uses formats that include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs.

Approaches that guide online care

Anna commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and acting; this approach is often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) is another method she uses that focuses on clarifying personal values and committing to meaningful action even when uncomfortable feelings remain. She also uses client-centered therapy, which emphasizes empathetic listening and shaping the work around the client's goals and sense of what matters.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Anna will discuss which methods fit a person's needs, goals, and preferences and adapt the plan as progress is made. The choice of technique is collaborative and can change as new priorities or challenges appear.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow fuller face-to-face interaction and visual cues, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging provide ongoing connection and brief check-ins between appointments. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, caregiving, or travel while still accessing evidence-informed approaches.
