About Adrian

Adrian Owen is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 12 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, trauma and abuse, and other life pressures. Adrian writes plainly and focuses on practical steps to help clients move forward.

She often begins by listening to what matters most and by helping clients set small, achievable goals. Her approach blends straightforward talk with hands-on strategies so clients can try new skills between sessions.

Background and approach

She emphasizes recovery, coping skills, and building routines that support long-term change. Adrian uses methods drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Client-Centered work. That mix helps address thinking patterns, emotional regulation, motivation, and personal values in real life.

Sessions combine skill teaching, reflective conversation, and goal-focused planning. Her practice includes work with issues such as grief, self-esteem, codependency, control issues, sexual identity and sexuality concerns, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people dealing with drug and alcohol addiction, eating concerns, anger, impulsivity, isolation, jealousy, and forgiveness work.

Adrian practices in Nebraska and offers services in English. She encourages a collaborative process where clients and therapist set the pace and choose the most useful strategies together.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful relationship so clients can find their own solutions; it helps when people need a supportive space to sort priorities and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches clear skills to change unhelpful patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and many everyday problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, combines acceptance with skill-building for emotional regulation and distress tolerance, helping when intense emotions or impulsivity get in the way.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels workable. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them over time based on what helps most.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. These formats provide flexibility for people who travel, have tight schedules, or prefer messaging between meetings. Licensed professionals can use these tools to teach skills, review homework, and follow progress so therapy stays practical and accessible.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
