About Anna
Anna Owens is a licensed professional counselor - mental health service provider with 11 years of experience. She focuses on helping adults and adolescents navigate stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, grief, depression, and ADHD-related concerns. Her style is straightforward and collaborative, aimed at helping people build practical skills for daily life.
She approaches therapy as a partnership. Sessions focus on identifying patterns that cause pain and on trying new ways to respond.
Background and approach
Clients can expect direct conversation, tool-building, and work on boundaries and self-worth. Anna emphasizes taking manageable steps rather than pushing for quick fixes. Anna uses a mix of approaches tailored to each person.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports getting clearer on values and taking action, even when feelings are hard. Mindfulness and client-centered work bring attention to present experience and the client’s own goals.
She also draws from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and existential ideas when they fit the issue. That can mean learning emotion regulation skills, improving communication, and making meaning after loss or trauma. The aim is to give concrete tools and also attend to deeper life questions.
Anna helps people who are dealing with addiction patterns, intimacy and commitment struggles, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and more. She emphasizes steady growth: noticing what doesn’t work, building new habits, and creating space for healthier relationships and priorities.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Anna blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in ways that focus on daily life. CBT helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to change how they feel. ACT helps clients clarify what matters to them and take actions that match those values, even when emotions are difficult.Finding the right method is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches fit best for their goals and situation. That discussion can shift as progress is made, so plans are revisited and adjusted together.
Online therapy offers a lot of practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations and skill practice. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to fit support into busy days and to check in between sessions. These options help people access care that fits their schedule and day-to-day life.
