About Anna
Anna Owens is a Tennessee licensed professional counselor - mental health service provider (LPC-MHSP) with 11 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on problems such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulty, trauma and abuse, addiction, grief, and parenting and family concerns. She also helps people coping with life changes, intimacy issues, anger, self-esteem, career stress, compassion fatigue, and ADHD.
Her way of working is straightforward. Sessions focus on identifying what is causing the most strain and learning practical skills to manage those problems. Clients can expect direct conversations about boundaries, communication, and patterns that repeat in relationships. Work often includes learning coping skills and building tools to handle strong feelings and difficult interactions.
Anna combines methods from cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, existential therapy, and client-centered approaches. That mix is used to tailor the session focus - sometimes skill-building, sometimes values work, and sometimes processing hard memories and reactions. She names and addresses harmful relationship dynamics such as narcissistic abuse and toxic relationships when that is relevant.
She describes therapy as active work that asks people to sit with uncomfortable feelings and take stock of where they are. Sessions often move between learning new strategies and applying them to everyday life. The aim is to create more usable space in day-to-day living and clearer boundaries in relationships.
Anna works in English and accepts international clients. Cost varies by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How Anna uses therapy approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters most to a person and taking steps toward those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help when life changes, grief, or relationship choices feel overwhelming.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, stress management, and coping skills for everyday problems.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and tolerating distress. This can be helpful when anger, impulsive behavior, or relationship reactivity get in the way.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means trying strategies, checking what helps, and adjusting the focus as needed.

Therapists can use the session time to practice skills, review what was tried during the week, and plan small changes that fit everyday routines.
