About Anna

Anna Owens is a Licensed Professional Counselor - Mental Health Service Provider (LPC-MHSP) with 11 years of experience. She works with adults, couples, and adolescents who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma, depression, and codependency. Anna aims to create a calm space where people can name what feels off and start making practical changes.

She brings a trauma-informed perspective and uses a mix of approaches to fit each person. Sessions focus on building inner strength, learning coping skills, and developing tools you can use between meetings. Clients should expect honest conversations and some work that asks them to sit with uncomfortable feelings for a while.

Anna often frames change as curating a life, like tending a garden. Together a person and Anna identify emotions, relationships, and habits that no longer serve them. The work emphasizes boundary-setting, growing self-worth, and opening space for new experiences to take root.

Her background blends clinical therapy practices with eleven years of hands-on experience across a range of concerns including addiction, grief, intimacy issues, and compassion fatigue. She describes the therapy process as collaborative and sometimes challenging, with tangible skills taught along the way.

People who want a direct yet empathetic therapist may find her style a good match. Those interested in beginning can use the site tools to match and schedule a first meeting. Anna practices in Tennessee and works in English.

How her approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice their thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and codependency by shifting focus toward meaningful steps rather than getting stuck in difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and offers concrete tools to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress to teach practical coping skills. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens closely and follows the client's lead to build self-understanding and confidence.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and day-to-day life. That means trying things, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together rather than committing to a single path from the start.

The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy often makes scheduling easier and can help fit sessions into a busy life, whether you need shorter check-ins, evening times, or a way to avoid travel. Many people find virtual meetings let them practice skills in real life between sessions. Licensed professionals can tailor pacing and techniques to match the practical demands of work, caregiving, or health concerns.
