About Anna
Anna Oglesby is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Mississippi who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and ADHD. She writes and talks plainly so parents can quickly understand what to expect. Anna aims to make the first steps feel less overwhelming for anyone seeking help.
She earned a Master of Science in Counseling from Northwestern State University of Louisiana and spent several years teaching before moving into counseling.
Background and approach
That background shaped her practical, down-to-earth style and her focus on clear tools clients can use right away. In sessions she uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and then works with clients to build coping skills. She also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy to set short-term goals and identify small, doable changes that lead to progress.
Anna keeps conversations straightforward and nonjudgmental. She aims to leave personal beliefs out of the counseling relationship so clients can focus on their own priorities. Her approach emphasizes skills people can practice between sessions.
People reach out to her for help with parenting strain, relationship stress, trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, anger, self-esteem, and life transitions. She also supports those exploring LGBT concerns. The work often combines practical strategies with simple goal-setting to make change feel possible.
How Anna’s Methods Work Online
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people notice patterns of thinking and behavior that make problems worse. In short sessions she will help identify those patterns and teach practical techniques to challenge unhelpful thoughts and develop new coping skills. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on small, achievable goals and steps that move a person toward what they want to change rather than focusing only on problems.Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. Anna will talk with clients about their goals, try out methods that fit their needs, and adjust the plan as progress is made. The focus is on what works for the individual and on clear, measurable steps rather than vague promises.
Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions are useful for deeper conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a quick check-in fits a work break. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for shorter updates, skill practice, or when written reflection helps the person process thoughts. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep consistent contact between appointments.
