Anna Oglesby, LPC

Anna Oglesby is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Mississippi. She focuses on stress and anxiety along with related challenges like depression, anger, and grief. She aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about what’s on their mind and begin to feel more in control.

Anna earned a Master of Science degree in Counseling from Northwestern State University of Louisiana and began her career as a teacher before moving into counseling work. She has three years of counseling experience and brings that background into sessions by keeping explanations clear and practical.

Her approach centers on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect feelings. She helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and practices skills to change them. She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set short-term goals and build on strengths for real-life changes.

Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. Anna prefers to leave personal opinions out of the room so clients can explore concerns without judgment. Common topics she addresses include parenting stress, relationship issues, compassion fatigue, trauma and abuse, ADHD, and LGBT-related concerns.

She encourages anyone considering counseling to take the next step, even if it feels small. The process typically starts by matching goals and scheduling a time to meet, then working together to find strategies that fit day-to-day life.

How Anna's approaches translate to online work

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people spot thoughts and behaviors that worsen stress and anxiety. It uses simple exercises and practice between sessions to change unhelpful thinking and improve mood and daily functioning.

Solution-Focused Therapy is future-oriented and practical. It centers on small, measurable goals and highlights existing strengths to create quick, usable steps toward change. This can be helpful for specific problems or when a person wants short-term progress.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. They review what’s working and adjust plans as therapy moves forward.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. Many people find online care helps fit sessions into a busy life - for example, scheduling at a break time, reducing travel, or choosing a shorter check-in when needed. Talk with the therapist about how to structure sessions to match your routine and goals.
