About Anna
Anna Oglesby is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Mississippi with three years of counseling experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting strain, compassion fatigue, ADHD, relationship and family concerns, and challenges tied to life changes and LGBT issues. She explains things plainly and focuses on practical steps clients can try between sessions.
Anna uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She helps clients identify patterns that affect mood and then practices alternative responses. She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to highlight what is already working and build small, achievable goals.
Her background includes a Master of Science in Counseling from Northwestern State University of Louisiana and time spent working as a teacher before moving into counseling. That teaching experience shapes her preference for clear, structured sessions and concrete skill building. She expects conversations to be direct and respectful, with personal opinions kept out of the therapeutic work.
Sessions often focus on short-term strategies people can apply in daily life. Homework might include thought records, behavioral experiments, or brief goal steps to try between meetings. This approach is practical and hands-on rather than purely reflective.
If someone wants to begin, Anna asks prospective clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session. The process is aimed at quickly identifying priorities and deciding which techniques to try first.
How CBT and Solution-Focused Work Online
Anna uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients spot unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking. CBT sessions focus on specific problems, practical exercises, and short practice tasks to try between meetings. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes strengths and small, concrete steps that move a person toward a clear goal.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to choose which methods to try first based on current needs and goals. If something isn't helping, she and the client adjust the plan and try other techniques together.
