Tina Owen, LICSW, LCSW

Tina Owen is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Louisiana and Rhode Island with LICSW and LCSW credentials. She holds an MSSW from the University of Louisville Kent School of Social Work, earned in 2017, after completing a BA in psychology. With seven years of clinical experience, she focuses on trauma processing while also supporting people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, ADHD, and challenges related to sexual assault and abuse.

Her approach is relaxed and affirming, and she aims to bring warmth, gentle humor, and validation into sessions. Tina offers specialized support for complex trauma, including PTSD and childhood interpersonal trauma, and provides grief work that includes pet loss. She also enjoys working with adults on the autism spectrum and with ADHD, and identifies as neurodivergent affirming and child-free affirming. Tina is an ally to BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ communities and welcomes clients who often feel they do not quite fit in.

Tina works collaboratively with each person to tailor therapy to their needs, choosing methods and goals that reflect individual strengths and preferences. Her practice emphasizes listening, understanding, and helping clients make the changes they want in their lives. She offers multiple ways to meet so clients can choose what works best for them.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Tina commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to stress and anxiety. CBT is practical and goal-oriented, often helpful for managing anxiety, mood challenges, and attention-related difficulties.

She also incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills when clients need support with emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving relationships. DBT combines acceptance and change strategies to build practical coping skills for intense emotions and interpersonal struggles.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Tina works with each person to explore which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made to ensure therapy stays relevant and effective.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules and for people who prefer remote care. Tina provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so clients can select the format that best suits their life and comfort level. These options make ongoing support more accessible while allowing therapists and clients to focus on meaningful progress.
