Adrian Owen , LPC, LCPC

Adrian Owen is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) who guides people through the challenges of substance use, mental health struggles, and major life transitions. With a focus on practical recovery strategies, she draws on approaches that encourage motivation, build coping skills, and reshape unhelpful patterns of thinking and behavior.

She has extensive experience working with people facing co-occurring disorders - where substance use and mental health concerns overlap - and supports clients dealing with depression, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, trauma, and everyday life stressors. Her work centers on meeting each person where they are and helping them discover realistic, actionable steps toward change.

Adrian uses a blend of therapeutic techniques tailored to the individual, including Motivational Interviewing to strengthen readiness for change, Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach emotion regulation and interpersonal skills, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and alter limiting thoughts and behaviors. She also incorporates solution-focused ideas to help clients set and reach practical goals.

Committed to a strengths-based approach, Adrian emphasizes that recovery and healing are possible and often require focused action. She works collaboratively with people to uncover personal resources and to develop plans that support lasting change.

Approaches for online recovery, coping, and growth

Adrian draws from evidence-based methods that translate well to remote work and focus on practical change. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-focused approach that helps people resolve ambivalence and build readiness for change - it is especially useful for issues involving substance use and behavior change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, making it effective for anxiety, depression, and many everyday coping challenges. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be helpful for intense emotions, impulsivity, and relationship difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Adrian works collaboratively with each person to explore which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they set priorities and adapt techniques over time to support progress.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging allow sessions to fit into busy lives, reduce travel time, and make regular contact more accessible. Licensed professionals can use these options to maintain continuity of care and tailor communication styles to what works best for each individual.
