About Anna
Anna Oglesby is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Mississippi who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and related concerns. She uses straightforward strategies to teach coping skills and to challenge thoughts that make problems worse. Anna aims to make the first step into counseling feel manageable and calm.
She earned a Master of Science in Counseling from Northwestern State University of Louisiana and worked as a teacher before moving into counseling.
Background and approach
That classroom experience shaped how she listens and explains things in simple, practical terms. In sessions she emphasizes clear ideas you can use between meetings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a common tool she uses to spot thought patterns and change behaviors that feed distress.
She also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy to help people set short-term goals and notice what already works in their lives. Anna wants clients to speak freely without judgment. She keeps her own views out of the counseling relationship and focuses on the client's goals.
The work is collaborative and paced to each person's comfort level. Counseling can cover many topics, including trauma and abuse, grief, parenting strains, relationship concerns, LGBT issues, compassion fatigue, anger, self-esteem, and ADHD. Anna blends practical techniques with respectful listening to help people cope and move forward.
Approaches and online options for problem-focused change
Anna uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts and behaviors that influence mood. CBT focuses on concrete steps like testing unhelpful beliefs and building new coping skills, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and anger. Solution-Focused Therapy is another approach she uses; it emphasizes small, achievable goals and spotting what is already working to create quick forward movement.Figuring out which approach fits best is a team effort. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and daily routines to choose methods that suit each person. Sessions are collaborative and adjusted over time when something needs to change.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video allows face-to-face conversation when you can be on camera. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when you prefer not to be on video. Live chat and text messaging provide quick check-ins or a way to work through short concerns between longer sessions. These options help people fit counseling into busy days and varied schedules.
