About Anna
Anna Oglesby is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Mississippi who helps people facing stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, grief, parenting challenges, and trauma. She welcomes conversations about relationship concerns, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and LGBT-related stress in a calm, nonjudgmental way. Anna speaks English and draws on practical tools to help people take small steps toward feeling better.
She earned a Master of Science in Counseling from Northwestern State University of Louisiana and later moved from teaching into counseling work.
Background and approach
That classroom background shapes her clear, straightforward approach to problem solving. She has about three years of counseling experience working with adults on a range of life stressors. In sessions Anna uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thinking patterns and behaviors that influence mood.
She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set concrete, short-term goals and track progress. Both methods aim to create practical coping steps a person can try between sessions. Anna emphasizes collaboration and respect in the counseling room.
She avoids imposing personal beliefs and focuses on what the person wants to change. The work is conversational, goal-oriented, and paced to each person's needs. People who choose to work with her can expect straightforward feedback, skill-building work, and regular check-ins on progress.
The first meetings generally focus on identifying priorities and learning one or two coping strategies to use right away.

CBT and Solution-Focused Work Online
Anna uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and then practice alternative responses. CBT works well for anxiety, depression, and stress by breaking problems into small, manageable pieces.She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy which centers on setting clear, short-term goals and building on what already works. This approach helps people who want fast, practical changes or specific parenting strategies they can try right away.
Choosing an approach is part of the process and happens together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then adjust methods as progress is tracked. This keeps sessions tailored to real needs rather than a fixed plan.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let you work face to face from wherever you are. Phone sessions can fit a shorter break or use less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging are useful for quick check-ins, brief coaching between sessions, or when writing feels easier than talking. These options make scheduling more flexible and help therapy fit into busy routines.
