About Anna

Anna Oglesby is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Mississippi. She offers straightforward support for parents and adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, anger, grief, parenting struggles, and related concerns. Anna explains things plainly and helps people learn practical skills they can use between sessions.

She earned a Master of Science in Counseling from Northwestern State University of Louisiana and worked as a teacher before moving into counseling. That background shaped a calm, patient approach to working with others.

Background and approach

Anna has three years of counseling experience and draws on that time when she plans sessions. Anna often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps identify unhelpful thinking and change how those thoughts affect mood and behavior. She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear, short-term goals and build on what is already working in a person’s life.

In sessions she helps clients develop coping skills for day-to-day challenges. Her style is nonjudgmental and practical; she keeps personal opinions out of the room so the focus stays on the client. Parents and adults who want direct tools and clear steps tend to find this approach helpful.

Getting started is simple: complete a short questionnaire, match with Anna, and schedule sessions that fit your timetable. Sessions are offered through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs.

Approaches and online sessions that fit busy lives

Anna uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot thinking patterns that increase stress or low mood, then practice new ways of thinking and coping. This approach is often useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and day-to-day stress.

She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set small, achievable goals and build on what already works for a person. That method keeps sessions practical and forward-moving when someone wants clear steps and quick improvements.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each client to decide which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying strategies, reviewing progress, and adjusting plans together.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into a busy family schedule, reduce travel time, and provide consistent contact when life gets hectic. Licensed professionals can use the flexibility of these formats to offer short check-ins, full sessions, or written reflections depending on what works best for the client.

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.

Solution-Focused Therapy

Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
