Adrian Owen, LPC, LCPC

Adrian Owen is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 12 years of experience helping people facing addiction, anxiety, depression, and stress. She works with people who are coping with relationship and family concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, and issues like codependency or control. Adrian speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps people can use right away.

She emphasizes motivation and action in early sessions so a person can start making changes quickly. Adrian uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and motivational interviewing alongside client-centered and mindfulness techniques. Sessions blend talk, goal setting, and skills practice tailored to each person.

Adrian has long experience supporting people with co-occurring substance use and mental health concerns. That background shapes how she plans treatment and helps clients set realistic goals for recovery and well-being. She encourages small, steady steps rather than sudden perfection.

Her approach is collaborative and straightforward. She listens, helps identify unhelpful patterns, and offers tools to reduce symptoms and improve coping. People who prefer concrete tools and active problem solving often find this style useful.

Adrian practices in Nebraska and conducts sessions in English. She invites people who want to begin change to consider what matters most to them, and then she helps build a plan to get there.

How Adrian uses evidence-based approaches online

Adrian blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy with a client-centered outlook. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments to reduce anxiety and depression. DBT teaches specific skills for managing intense emotions, reducing impulsivity, and improving relationships. She also draws on motivational interviewing to help people find internal reasons to change and build momentum.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Adrian collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. Early sessions often focus on what feels most pressing, then adjust techniques and pace based on progress and feedback.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and skills practice. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging can support short updates, between-session encouragement, or people who prefer writing to speaking. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family, or recovery commitments.
