About Deirdre

Deirdre Owens is a licensed clinician in Nevada who focuses on helping people build stronger self esteem and manage everyday stress. She approaches each person with respect and compassion. Her style is straightforward and steady, aimed at making small steps feel possible.

Deirdre meets people where they are and adapts conversations to fit each situation. She listens for what matters most and helps set practical goals. Sessions often center on clearer thinking, coping skills, and finding values that guide choices.

Her work draws on therapies that teach new ways to handle difficult thoughts and feelings. Deirdre uses tools from cognitive behavioral approaches to spot unhelpful patterns. She also uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people live in line with what they care about.

Attachment-based work appears when relationships or early experiences shape current struggles. That focus can help people understand why they react a certain way and practice different ways of connecting with others. Dialectical behavior strategies are used to add emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills when they are needed.

Deirdre has five years of clinical experience and holds the LCPC credential, which stands for Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor. She aims to make treatment clear and practical so people can use what they learn outside the therapy room. To begin, she invites prospective clients to consider what matters most and take a small first step toward change.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts without getting stuck in them and then take actions that match their values; it can be useful for low self esteem, anxiety, and feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and trying new behaviors to change moods and reactions; this approach is often used for anxiety, depression, and panic. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current patterns and helps people practice different ways of relating when old habits get in the way.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and concerns, then suggest which methods might help most. Over time the plan can be adjusted based on what feels useful and what produces small, practical changes.

Confirm the specific online session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce commute time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also make it simpler to focus on skills practice between meetings and to bring real-life examples from everyday routines into the conversation.
