About Anna

Anna Owens is a licensed professional counselor (LPC-MHSP) with 11 years of clinical experience offering trauma-informed and evidence-based psychotherapy. She focuses on helping adults, couples, and adolescents navigate issues such as stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, and ADHD.

Background and approach

Her practice emphasizes collaboration and practical skill-building so clients can develop coping tools, set healthier boundaries, and strengthen a sense of self-worth. Her work blends several therapeutic methods to match each person's needs, drawing on approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, CBT, DBT, and client-centered techniques.

Anna encourages open exploration of difficult emotions and life patterns, guiding clients through a process she likens to curating a garden: clearing out what no longer serves you and creating room for growth.

She frames therapy as an active partnership that can be both challenging and rewarding, with the aim of helping clients move from resolution toward ongoing personal growth. Based in Tennessee and licensed as LPC-MHSP 3990, she accepts English-speaking clients and is open to international clients.

Anna describes therapy as a space for empathy, support, and practical change while acknowledging the courage it takes to begin that work.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Flexible Online Care

Anna uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify their values and take committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present, a method that can be useful for anxiety, depression, and navigating life changes. She also employs Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and modify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can directly address symptoms of stress, mood concerns, and many day-to-day challenges. In practice she blends these approaches with client-centered listening to create an individualized plan tailored to each person's goals and circumstances.

Finding the right approach is presented as a collaborative process. The therapist partners with clients to explore which strategies fit their needs, preferences, and goals, adjusting methods over time as progress and priorities evolve. Together they identify practical skills and values-driven steps that support sustainable change rather than one-size-fits-all solutions.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it possible to maintain continuity of care from home or while traveling, and they allow clients to access consistent support alongside the individualized interventions and skill-building the therapist offers.
