Tina Owen, LICSW, LCSW

Tina Owen is a licensed clinical social worker who practices in Louisiana and Rhode Island. She holds a Master of Science in Social Work from the University of Louisville and brings seven years of direct clinical experience to therapy. Tina combines professionalism with a relaxed, warm manner to help people feel understood from the start.

Her style is approachable and grounded. She uses humor and affirmation in sessions when it fits, and she aims to make clients feel comfortable sharing hard things. Trauma processing and grief support are central to her work, including help with post-traumatic stress and recovery after interpersonal abuse.

Tina also supports people navigating anxiety, ADHD, and the struggles of feeling isolated or out of place. She identifies as neurodivergent affirming and as an ally to LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC communities. That perspective shapes how she listens and responds to identity-related concerns.

When people come for help, she works with them to pick practical strategies and clear goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is one of the approaches she uses to address unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. She also draws on dialectical skills, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused techniques when those fit the client's needs.

Sessions aim to be collaborative and personal. Tina emphasizes a space where clients can speak without judgment and take steps toward the changes they want. She invites prospective clients to explore therapy at a pace that feels right for them.

How Tina Uses Evidence-Based Approaches Online

Tina commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy during online sessions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going, which can help with anxiety, stress, and ADHD-related challenges. DBT teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions, reducing harmful behaviors, and improving interpersonal effectiveness.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Tina will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then suggest strategies that fit. Together they decide whether CBT tools, DBT skills, motivational interviewing, or solution-focused exercises will best meet the client's needs.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people work face to face from different locations, while phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is an issue. Live chat or text messaging can be useful for shorter check-ins, brief coaching, or when written reflection feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy schedules and different daily routines.
