Anna Owens, LPC-MHSP

Anna Owens is a Tennessee LPC-MHSP with 11 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship problems, depression, grief, addiction, ADHD, and family of origin issues. She also addresses intimacy concerns, anger, self-esteem, career strain, and caregiver stress.

She approaches therapy in straightforward terms and focuses on practical skills. Sessions include looking at patterns from the family you grew up in and how they show up now. She uses behavioral tools, mindful practices, and values-based work to help people manage difficult emotions and make clearer choices.

In practice she aims to be direct and collaborative. Clients learn coping skills from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and grounding and emotion-regulation skills drawn from Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas help people notice what matters to them and take steps toward it.

Anna also brings client-centered listening into sessions so people feel heard while they sort through painful memories or difficult relationships. She may work on communication skills, boundary setting, and managing compulsive or avoidant reactions that come from old family roles.

She asks people to do some honest self-reflection between sessions. That can mean practicing new responses, trying exposure-based steps for anxious situations, or using mindfulness exercises to sit with uncomfortable feelings. The aim is steady, practical change rather than quick fixes.
