Anna Owens, LPC-MHSP

Anna Owens is a Tennessee LPC-MHSP with 11 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, anger, and addiction. She also supports people facing life transitions, career strain, caregiver stress, and issues related to ADHD.

She uses practical, evidence-informed methods to help people manage strong feelings and recurring patterns. Sessions focus on noticing what keeps problems active, trying new ways of responding, and building everyday skills that reduce reactivity. Conversations are direct and action oriented, with room for difficult emotions and concrete practice between meetings.

Anna draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people change unhelpful thoughts and take value-driven steps. She also uses Client-Centered and Dialectical Behavior Therapy ideas to support emotional regulation and clearer communication. These approaches are blended to match a person’s situation rather than applied the same way for everyone.

Common goals include learning de-escalation skills, setting healthier boundaries, reducing shame and self-blame, and improving intimacy and workplace interactions. She asks clients to notice patterns, experiment with small changes, and reflect on what matters to them.

Anna frames the work as collaborative. She helps people inventory where they are, practice new coping tools, and make steady adjustments that fit daily life. The process can feel challenging, but it emphasizes practical gains and clearer choices.
