About Anna

Anna Owens is a licensed psychotherapist who focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma, depression, and other life challenges. With 11 years of clinical experience and the credential LPC-MHSP, she brings an evidence-informed perspective to each client's concerns while honoring each person's unique story.

Background and approach

Anna emphasizes collaboration and practical skills, guiding clients to develop coping strategies, stronger boundaries, and improved self-worth. Her work often involves gently exploring difficult emotions and patterns that no longer serve the client, then building new tools for navigating relationships, grief, career transitions, addiction-related issues, and intimacy challenges.

Anna integrates approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment strategies, client-centered techniques, and elements of dialectical and existential therapy to tailor treatment to individual needs. She accepts international clients and offers sessions from Tennessee, helping people access consistent care through a range of online formats.

Anna aims to create a nonjudgmental space where change is intentional, practical, and rooted in the client's goals.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Anna commonly integrates cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy in her online practice. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression, while ACT emphasizes accepting difficult feelings and committing to values-driven actions to create meaningful change. Both approaches offer practical skills and exercises that adapt well to remote sessions.

Client-centered methods also inform her work by prioritizing the client's experience and fostering a supportive, empathic relationship. Together with the client, she collaborates to determine which mix of approaches fits best based on the client's goals, preferences, and presenting concerns, making the selection an ongoing, mutual process rather than a one-time decision.

Online therapy with this provider is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which supports flexible scheduling and consistent access regardless of location. These remote formats make it easier to engage in regular therapeutic work, practice skills between sessions, and maintain continuity of care while accommodating work, travel, or caregiving responsibilities.
