About Anna
Anna Owens is a Licensed Professional Counselor-Mental Health Service Provider (LPC-MHSP) in Tennessee with 11 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on a range of concerns including stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, and anger. She also supports people facing life changes, addiction-related issues, career strain, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients.
Anna uses straightforward, practical work in sessions. She helps people name what they feel and learn ways to respond differently. She asks direct questions and offers exercises you can use between meetings. Expect some honest reflection and concrete tools rather than vague talk.
Her approach draws from several established therapies. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and take action even when feelings are uncomfortable. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps spot unhelpful thinking patterns and change behaviors that keep problems going. Dialectical Behavior Therapy provides skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships.
Anna describes therapy as active work that involves sitting with hard feelings and taking inventory of where you are. She focuses on boundary setting, building inner self-worth, and creating room in life for new experiences. That process can be challenging but aims to leave people with practical coping skills.
She frames change as a series of steps rather than a single fix. The first session often looks at immediate concerns and priorities. From there, she and the client plan short-term goals and specific skills to practice between sessions.
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions can help
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking committed steps toward those values even when feelings are difficult. It helps people who want to stop avoiding emotions and start making small, value-driven changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete strategies to change patterns that increase anger, anxiety, or depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication when feelings run high.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist treats approach selection as collaborative. Together they look at your goals, how you respond to different techniques, and what feels workable in day-to-day life, then adjust the plan as needed.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into a busy schedule, make it easier to follow up on homework between meetings, or allow shorter check-ins when days are tight. Online work can also let someone try skills in real time and then discuss how it went at the next meeting. Ask about formats when you schedule so sessions line up with your needs and routine.
