About Anna
Anna Owens is a licensed professional counselor and mental health service provider who focuses on helping adults sort through stress, anxiety, relationship pain, grief, and life changes. She frames therapy as a partnership and helps people build coping skills, stronger boundaries, and a clearer sense of self.
Anna writes plainly in session and asks direct questions so clients can see what to change next. She draws on existential ideas alongside practical therapies to help people face hard feelings and make purposeful choices.
Background and approach
Sessions often include examining values, noticing patterns, and trying new behaviors between meetings. Anna uses tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and client-centered work when they fit a person's goals. With 11 years of clinical experience, Anna takes a trauma-aware approach that recognizes how past hurt shapes current choices.
She encourages honest reflection and gradual experiments to test new ways of relating and coping. The work can feel challenging, and she prepares clients for both discomfort and progress. Anna practices in Tennessee and offers sessions in English.
She accepts international clients and tailors her approach to each person’s needs. People who want clearer boundaries, relief from persistent worry, or help moving on after loss often find this a practical, reflective way forward. Therapy with Anna aims to strengthen inner resources while creating room for new possibilities.
She helps clients name what no longer serves them, develop doable skills, and make decisions that match their values.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Anna integrates Existential Therapy by inviting people to reflect on meaning, choice, and what matters most; this helps when life changes or relationships feel empty or confusing. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings while taking committed steps toward a valued life. Client-Centered Therapy is part of her approach too, offering a respectful, listening stance that helps clients feel heard and understood.Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. She will work together with each person to identify goals, try out approaches, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. That means sessions can shift from reflective conversation to skill practice depending on the moment and the need.
Online therapy formats provide practical options for staying consistent with treatment. Video calls are useful for fuller, face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging let clients check in between sessions, have shorter check-ins, or use messaging when schedules are tight. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel routines while working collaboratively on values, skills, and coping strategies.
