About Anna

Anna Owens is a licensed psychotherapist with 11 years of experience who helps adults and adolescents navigate grief, relationship struggles, stress, anxiety, and life transitions. She practices with a direct, compassionate style and invites people to take an active role in shaping their lives. Anna holds the credential LPC-MHSP, which stands for Licensed Professional Counselor - Mental Health Service Provider.

Her work centers on practical skills and emotional honesty. Sessions focus on identifying patterns that cause pain and building tools to respond differently. She guides people through difficult feelings and the hard work of setting boundaries, improving communication, and building self-worth.

Anna draws from several evidence-based approaches to meet individual needs. She blends techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral strategies, and client-centered methods to create a personalized plan. Mindfulness and Dialectical Behavior Therapy ideas also appear when they fit a person’s goals.

She has experience supporting people through grief, compassion fatigue, addiction, trauma and abuse, chronic illness, caregiver stress, and issues tied to attachment and abandonment. Anna describes therapy as collaborative work that can be challenging and also rewarding as clients create room for new experiences and growth.

Anna practices in Tennessee and communicates in English. She works with people who want a therapist who is clear about the process, willing to sit with uncomfortable feelings, and focused on practical change over time.

How therapy approaches shape online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting ruled by them and then choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, grief, and life changes where people want clearer direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replacing them with more effective patterns; it often helps with anxiety, depression, and coping skills. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s own goals and lived experience, offering empathy and reflection so people feel heard while they make changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then try methods that fit. This is a collaborative process where techniques can be adjusted as needs become clearer.

Session logistics should support day-to-day life. The profile does not list specific session formats here, so confirm available options when you book. Online therapy can make it easier to keep a regular schedule, fit sessions into work or caregiving routines, and use shorter check-ins when time or bandwidth is limited. Licensed professionals can help adapt exercises and homework to the online setting so progress continues between meetings.
