Deirdre Owens, LCPC

Deirdre Owens is a Nevada-based licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, and low self-esteem. She speaks plainly and offers steady support for those wrestling with depression, mood swings, panic, and relationship strain. Deirdre centers each session on what the person needs right now and treats people with respect and compassion.

Her approach is collaborative and straightforward. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and from acceptance and commitment therapy to clarify values and take small, meaningful steps. Attachment-based ideas guide conversations about closeness and trust, while dialectical behavior therapy skills help with strong emotions and distress tolerance.

Deirdre also works with issues that can come with complex life situations. That includes chronic pain, illness, blended family challenges, avoidant personality patterns, and cultural concerns. She addresses communication problems, guilt and shame, and questions about life purpose in practical ways you can try between sessions.

With five years of experience, she builds a plan that fits a person’s goals and daily life. Sessions are tailored to individual needs rather than a one-size-fits-all program. Taking the first step is often the hardest part, and Deirdre offers steady guidance as people move toward clearer choices and better day-to-day coping.

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Deirdre uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors in everyday life. CBT often includes small experiments and practical homework so people can see what shifts work for them. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on values and committed action; it helps people clarify what matters and take steps toward those goals even when feelings are uncomfortable.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to a person's goals, try different strategies, and adjust based on what helps. That collaborative process makes it easier to select techniques that fit someone’s situation and stamina.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, cut travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people bring examples from their daily life into sessions more easily, so skills can be practiced and reviewed between meetings.
