About Anna
Anna Owens is a Licensed Professional Counselor - Mental Health Service Provider (LPC-MHSP) who focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety. She speaks directly and compassionately, guiding clients through difficult feelings and practical challenges. She aims to build skills for healthier relationships and clearer personal boundaries.
With 11 years of clinical experience, Anna draws on several therapy approaches to tailor care to each person. She often helps people identify patterns that no longer serve them, set stronger boundaries, and develop new coping tools.
Background and approach
Sessions are collaborative and goal-focused, with straightforward steps to practice between visits. She emphasizes trauma-informed work for those recovering from hurtful relationships and abuse. That includes building safety, naming what happened, and developing strategies to reduce reactivity and shame.
Anna also addresses grief, addiction, career stress, and life transitions in practical ways that fit daily life. Her style blends skills training with reflective conversation. Clients can expect to learn breathing and mindfulness tools, try behavioral experiments, and practice communication skills they can use right away.
Therapy involves facing uncomfortable thoughts, but Anna supports people through that process at a steady pace. People who choose Anna are often ready to make changes and willing to try new habits. She helps turn small steps into lasting shifts, so people can feel more grounded, confident, and able to manage anxiety and other concerns.
Therapeutic approaches that work well online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being ruled by them, then choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and life changes because it focuses on meaningful steps rather than eliminating every uncomfortable feeling.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Clients learn to test unhelpful thoughts, try behavior experiments, and build practical habits that lower anxiety and improve mood.
Anna treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She works with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, symptoms, and daily routine. Together they check what helps and adjust the plan over time so therapy feels useful and manageable.
Online sessions let people access therapy with more flexibility. Video calls are good for deeper conversations and practicing skills together. Phone sessions can be a simple way to check in when bandwidth or time is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging are helpful for brief check-ins, homework support, or when someone prefers written communication. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, or travel while still getting steady therapeutic support.
