Anna Owens, LPC-MHSP - Therapist in Tennessee

About Anna

Anna Owens is a Tennessee LPC-MHSP with 11 years of clinical experience. She works with adults, couples, and adolescents on stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, depression, and related concerns listed in her profile.

She prefers straightforward work in sessions. Conversations focus on what is happening now, what feels hard, and what practical steps might help. She asks clients to notice difficult feelings, try new coping skills, and practice them between meetings.

Her approach draws on several evidence-based methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. These give a mix of behavioral tools, attention to values, and skills for regulating strong emotions. She also uses client-centered and existential ideas to keep sessions grounded in each person’s priorities.

Anna describes helping people set boundaries, build inner self-worth, and move away from relationships or patterns that cause harm. She supports work on grief, addiction, ADHD, caregiver stress, chronic illness, body image, commitment and communication problems, and other listed concerns.

Sessions involve active collaboration. Clients can expect clear suggestions, coping strategies to practice, and direct talk about the emotions that come up. The aim is to open up space in daily life so people can make changes that matter to them.

Her language is plain and practical. People who prefer honest, down-to-earth guidance about social anxiety, phobias, and related struggles may find this style helpful.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that align with their values. It can help with anxiety, avoidance, and deciding what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going and works on practical experiments to change those patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety and depressive symptoms. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness when relationships feel volatile.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to prioritize and adjust the plan as needed, so sessions stay focused and useful.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm the current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and let people choose a setting that helps them concentrate. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and DBT skills to remote work, assigning practice between sessions and reviewing progress in the following meeting.
