About Adrian
Adrian Owen is an LPC, Licensed Professional Counselor, and holds an MS with 12 years of clinical experience. She practices in Nebraska and helps people who are struggling with anger, stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, grief, and related concerns. Adrian works with people who want to stop snapping at others, manage workplace frustration, or reduce built-up resentment.
Adrian focuses on practical steps that move people toward recovery from substance use and co-occurring mental health issues. She uses straightforward conversations to clarify what someone wants to change. Sessions include checking current coping strategies and setting small, achievable actions to try between meetings.
Her approach draws on Client-Centered Therapy to follow the person’s concerns and on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and Motivational Interviewing to strengthen motivation for change. Mindfulness techniques are added when clients want help staying present and noticing stress reactions.
Adrian has long experience working with people facing substance use together with mental health challenges. She helps people work through relationship strain, control issues, codependency, and impulses that get in the way of recovery. She also supports work on self-esteem, sexuality, and issues commonly labeled as women’s concerns.
Practical planning is part of her work. Adrian and each person set clear, bite-sized goals and review what helps or gets in the way. To begin, the reader is invited to use the site’s matching and scheduling steps to arrange an initial session.
How sessions work
How Adrian’s approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy means the therapist follows the person’s concerns and priorities, offering listening and reflection so goals become clearer. This approach helps when someone wants to talk through triggers and decide what matters most to change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep anger and anxiety going. CBT sessions often include practical exercises, behavior experiments, and simple homework to try between meetings, useful for workplace stress or repetitive reactions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) supplies concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving tolerance for distress, and handling interpersonal tension. DBT skills can be practiced in short steps and reviewed in follow-up visits.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision can change over time as progress is reviewed and new challenges appear.
Confirm the session formats available before booking, since formats were not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time around work or family responsibilities. Describe your goals in the intake so the therapist can recommend a useful format and plan practical steps to manage anger and related issues.
