Background and approach
Sessions often include chance to practice small changes between meetings so progress can carry into daily life. Her background includes diverse settings and a long history of clinical work. That experience informs how she tailors sessions to each person’s rhythm and needs.
She pays attention to cultural context and to issues that affect women, young adults, and parents. When trauma or grief is present, she combines trauma-focused methods with emotionally focused work. This lets people process painful events while also strengthening important relationships and emotional awareness.
The aim is to reduce overwhelm and rebuild steady routines. Online sessions are offered through video, phone, chat, and text formats. These options are used to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep momentum between sessions.
Dr. Owen asks questions about goals and preferences and works with each person to plan the next steps.
How therapeutic approaches shape online care
Dr. Owen uses Client-Centered Therapy to build a trusting working relationship. This approach emphasizes listening and following the person’s lead so goals come from what matters most to them. It helps when someone needs a steady, respectful space to talk about anxiety or life change.She also draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy to help people process painful events safely. That approach focuses on gradual work through traumatic memories and on building skills to manage strong emotions. It can be useful for people coping with past abuse, disasters, or other traumatic experiences.
Finding the best approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss options, ask about goals, and adapt methods to fit the client’s needs and preferences. Sessions are collaborative and paced to what feels manageable.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is a good fit for fuller conversations and emotionally focused work. Phone can be helpful when bandwidth is limited or for a quicker check-in. Chat and text are useful for shorter updates, coaching-style support, or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These formats make it easier to continue work between appointments and to fit sessions into a busy life.
