Anna Oglesby , LPC

Anna Oglesby is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Mississippi who draws on both formal training and earlier experience in education to support clients through life challenges. She earned a Master of Science in Counseling from Northwestern State University of Louisiana in 2013 and spent several years working as a teacher before transitioning into counseling, bringing an informed and empathetic perspective to therapeutic work.

Anna uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a practical approach that helps clients identify thinking patterns and behaviors that influence emotions and day-to-day functioning. She also incorporates Solution-Focused Therapy to help clients set clear goals and build on existing strengths for meaningful change. Through these approaches she assists people in developing coping skills and challenging unhelpful thoughts.

Her work has included supporting individuals facing stress, anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder, among other concerns. In sessions she aims to create a nonjudgmental environment where personal beliefs are set aside so clients can speak openly. Anna recognizes that seeking counseling is an important first step and offers a steady, respectful presence for those exploring their next steps.

Therapeutic approaches for online sessions

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, commonly called CBT, helps clients notice and evaluate the thoughts and behaviors that affect mood and daily functioning. It focuses on practical strategies and skill-building to address issues like anxiety, depression, and stress in a structured way.

Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes a client's strengths and goals, encouraging short-term, goal-oriented work that identifies what is already working and how to build on it. This approach can be useful for people seeking concrete solutions for relationship challenges, coping with life changes, or improving day-to-day functioning.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the collaborative process. Anna Oglesby, as an LPC, works with clients to explore which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit sessions into busy lives and to access licensed professionals from different locations. These options allow therapy to be paced and structured to suit individual schedules and communication styles.
