About Anna
Anna Owens is a licensed psychotherapist who helps adults and couples navigate stress, anxiety, relationship problems, grief, and life transitions. She uses straightforward conversation and practical tools so people can begin to feel steadier. Her style is direct but compassionate, aimed at helping people notice what matters and make small, workable changes.
Anna brings 11 years of clinical experience and holds the LPC-MHSP credential, Tennessee LPC-MHSP 3990. She draws on several evidence-based methods to tailor sessions to each person’s needs.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on skills people can practice between meetings and on clearer ways to manage emotions and relationships. Her approach asks clients to notice difficult feelings rather than avoid them. Work often includes learning how thoughts shape behavior, building emotional regulation skills, and clarifying values to guide decisions.
Therapy combines listening with simple, hands-on exercises that can be used at home. Anna also addresses issues that often come with relationships, such as communication problems, boundaries, codependency, and intimacy-related concerns. She helps people facing trauma, abuse, addiction, or complex life changes find steadier footing and new ways to cope.
Sessions are offered in English and she works with international clients as well. Anna’s practice uses video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging formats so people can fit care into busy lives. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on availability.
How specific approaches guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice their values and take small actions toward them despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions where values and direction feel unclear.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and practicing new responses. That method often helps with anxiety, mood changes, and managing everyday stress through concrete skills.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Anna will discuss goals and preferences and then use one or more methods that fit the client's needs. The plan is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let sessions feel face-to-face, while phone, live chat, and text-based messaging provide shorter or more frequent check-ins. These formats support steady momentum, allow practice between sessions, and make it easier to schedule care from different locations.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.
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.
