About Anna

Anna Owens is a Licensed Professional Counselor - Mental Health Service Provider (LPC-MHSP) with 11 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping adults and adolescents facing stress, anxiety, trauma, relationship struggles, and life changes. Her style is direct and compassionate, and she works with each person to build practical coping skills and stronger boundaries.

She combines several approaches to match what each person needs. Sessions often include noticing patterns, practicing new ways of responding to emotions, and naming relationships or habits that get in the way. Anna emphasizes hands-on tools for managing anger, grief, addictive behaviors, attention differences, and compassion fatigue.

Her background includes both mental health counseling and nursing experience, which shapes a practical view of care. She describes therapy as a collaborative process where the client is the expert of their story. Together they map where a person is now and where they want to go, and then try small steps toward those goals.

Clients can expect gentle but honest work that asks them to sit with difficult feelings and try new behaviors. Anna uses the metaphor of curating a garden to describe making space for healthier relationships and self-worth. The aim is not just symptom relief but lasting change and growth.

She accepts international clients and works from Tennessee. Before scheduling, readers should confirm current session options and any details they need to plan their first appointment.

How Anna’s Approaches Guide Online Work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) invites people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions where motivation or meaning is a concern.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and acceptance so a person can explore their own solutions. It helps when someone needs space to understand feelings, strengthen self-worth, and try new ways of relating.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions, and then practices small changes to shift patterns. CBT can be helpful for anxiety, mood, and habit-driven behaviors like some addictive patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try methods that match their situation. That collaboration helps decide which techniques to use and when to adjust the plan.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm Anna's current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and reduce travel time. It also lets people keep therapy consistent when life circumstances change, while the therapist and client adapt approaches to what works in everyday life.
