About Anna

Anna Oglesby is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Mississippi who supports people coping with stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, compassion fatigue, relationship and family concerns, and ADHD.

Background and approach

She combines practical skills training with an emphasis on understanding how thoughts and behaviors shape emotional experience. Anna explains thinking patterns, helps clients build coping strategies, and works to replace unhelpful habits with healthier alternatives.

Anna earned a master’s degree in counseling from Northwestern State University of Louisiana in 2013 and spent several years teaching before moving into clinical work. With three years of counseling experience, she draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and solution-focused techniques to keep sessions goal-oriented and concrete.

She aims to create a nonjudgmental space where personal beliefs do not interfere with the therapeutic process, and she encourages people to view the decision to start counseling as an important first step.

Practical approaches for online counseling

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors that contribute to emotional distress. This approach breaks problems into manageable parts and teaches practical coping skills useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and anger.

Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes setting clear, achievable goals and building on existing strengths and resources. It concentrates on immediate steps clients can take to move toward their preferred outcomes rather than dwelling on past causes.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself, and the therapist will collaborate with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative process may blend CBT and solution-focused techniques to create a plan that feels practical and personalized.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which can make scheduling more flexible and reduce travel time. These options allow people to access licensed professionals from their own environment and choose the format that fits their routine and communication style.
