Anna Oglesby, LPC

Anna Oglesby is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Mississippi who combines academic training with real-world experience to support people facing emotional challenges. She earned her master’s degree in counseling from Northwestern State University of Louisiana in 2013 and spent several years working as a teacher before transitioning into a counseling career, bringing a patient and educational approach to her therapeutic work.

Anna draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify thought patterns and behaviors that influence mood and daily functioning. Once those patterns are recognized, she collaborates with clients to develop practical coping skills and to challenge unhelpful thoughts, aiming to create measurable change in how clients feel and respond to stressors.

She has worked with people experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, and PTSD among other concerns, and she prioritizes a nonjudgmental therapeutic environment. Anna emphasizes keeping her personal opinions and beliefs separate from the counseling relationship so clients can explore their concerns freely. She acknowledges that starting therapy is a significant step and welcomes those who reach out for support.

CBT and Solution-Focused Care Offered Online

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps clients identify the thoughts and behaviors that contribute to emotional distress and teaches concrete techniques to shift those patterns. It is often used for conditions such as anxiety, depression, stress, and symptoms following trauma by focusing on practical strategies and skill building.

Solution-Focused Therapy centers on clients’ strengths and goals, emphasizing small, actionable steps to move toward preferred outcomes. This approach is goal-oriented and can be useful for coping with life transitions, relationship concerns, and situations where rapid, practical change is desired.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Anna works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best with their needs, goals, and preferences. She reviews options, explains how techniques are used, and adjusts the plan as therapy progresses so clients remain active partners in their care.

Online sessions allow the same therapeutic approaches to be accessed by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering greater flexibility for scheduling and for fitting therapy into daily life. These options make it easier for people to maintain consistency in care while balancing other responsibilities, and licensed professionals can adapt methods to work effectively across each format.
