About Deirdre
Deirdre Owens is a Nevada-based licensed clinical professional counselor who focuses on helping people navigate anxiety, stress, and low self-esteem. She takes a straightforward, respectful approach and aims to make starting therapy feel manageable for someone who is nervous about the first step. Deirdre frames sessions around each person's needs and supports small, practical changes that add up over time.
She blends several evidence-informed approaches to match what the person wants to work on. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) feature when addressing anxious thoughts and avoidance. Attachment-Based Therapy helps when relationship patterns and trust issues are part of the concern.
Deirdre has five years of experience as an LCPC - Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor - working with people facing depression, grief, and mood concerns. She also supports those coping with chronic pain, identity and multicultural concerns, and personality-related struggles. Panic disorder and panic attacks are listed among her focus areas when anxiety is present.
Sessions are conversational and centered on practical tools. Clients can expect to learn skills for managing strong emotions, changing unhelpful thinking, and improving communication. The tone is calm and direct, with an emphasis on what will help between appointments.
She designs treatment plans with sensitivity to each person's background and goals. Deirdre encourages clients to try small experiments between sessions and adjusts plans as progress is made.
Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Deirdre commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and panic. ACT teaches skills for accepting difficult feelings while clarifying personal values and taking meaningful action.She also brings Attachment-Based Therapy into sessions when relationship patterns matter. That approach looks at how early connection styles affect current relationships and helps people build safer ways of relating to others.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Deirdre will collaborate with each person to decide which methods best match their goals and preferences. She adjusts plans over time based on what is helpful and what is not.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let someone choose a quieter setting, avoid camera use if preferred, or fit a session into a break from work. Ask about current session options when you schedule to pick what works best for you.
