Anna Owens

Anna Owens is a licensed professional psychotherapist with 11 years of experience. She holds the LPC-MHSP credential and offers a direct, practical style that helps people face hard feelings. She writes plainly with empathy and aims to help clients build tools for everyday life.

She frames therapy as a process of 'curating' your life. That means identifying emotions, relationships, and habits that no longer serve you. Sessions include learning coping skills, practicing boundaries, and taking small steps toward change. Anna says therapy can be both challenging and rewarding as clients try new ways of living.

Her background combines mental health work across a broad range of concerns. She lists stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, anger, self-esteem, relationship and intimacy issues, career strain, compassion fatigue, and ADHD among common areas she addresses. Additional focuses include attachment, abandonment, caregiver stress, chronic illness and disability, blended family issues, communication and control problems, and domestic violence.

Anna uses several practical approaches to guide sessions. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice values and take committed action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to shift unhelpful thinking and behavior. Mindfulness and client-centered ways of working are woven into conversations to keep the client’s experience central.

She invites prospective clients to treat the first steps as exploration. Together she and the client set goals, try out strategies, and adjust the plan based on what actually helps.

How these approaches shape online work

Anna often integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy during sessions. ACT helps people identify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when emotions are difficult. CBT focuses on spotting and testing unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviors to change how someone feels.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences, try methods that fit the situation, and adjust over time based on what helps. That means sessions can shift toward skills, deeper processing, or values-based action depending on progress.

The therapist's biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins during breaks or when schedules change. Online work can make it easier to practice skills in real-life settings and to keep therapy consistent while juggling responsibilities.
