About Deirdre

Deirdre Owens is an NV Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with five years of clinical experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and relationship strain. Her practice also addresses guilt and shame alongside attachment concerns and mood or personality-related struggles.

She uses straightforward conversation to help people name what feels heavy and what matters to them. Sessions focus on practical skills and clearer thinking. Deirdre draws on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try new ways of responding.

Attachment-based ideas guide her work on relationship wounds and communication problems. She pays attention to how early bonds shape current reactions without making clients relive their past. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used for emotion regulation and for people dealing with intense moods or panic symptoms.

Deirdre aims to create predictable sessions where goals and steps are clear. She often combines talk therapy with short exercises or homework to practice between meetings. The work is collaborative - clients and therapist set priorities together and track progress over time.

She provides services in Nevada and conducts sessions in English. People considering therapy are encouraged to read about approaches and ask about how the methods might address their particular guilt or shame concerns.

Therapeutic approaches used in remote sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that fit personal values. This can help when guilt or shame make it hard to move forward or take meaningful steps.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It uses simple exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and to build alternative responses, which is useful for anxiety, low mood, and self-critical thinking.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to identify which methods fit their goals and preferences, and will adjust tools as the work unfolds.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a weekday, reduce travel time, or use shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Many clients find that working remotely lets them practice skills between sessions in the places they live and work. Ask about current session options and how they can match your routine.
