About Adrian
Adrian Owen is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 12 years of clinical experience based in Nebraska. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, relationship strain, grief, trauma and abuse, and struggles around self-esteem and coping with life changes. Adrian also addresses issues related to codependency, control, substance use, impulsivity, isolation, and sexuality.
Her approach is practical and direct. She uses client-centered listening alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to identify patterns that keep problems stuck. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone is weighing change, and solution-focused strategies are used to set clear, actionable steps.
In sessions she helps people break down goals into small, doable actions. Conversations focus on what someone can try between sessions. Homework might include tracking thoughts, practicing new responses, or testing changes in behavior to see what works.
Adrian has substantial experience supporting people with co-occurring substance use and mental health concerns. She frames recovery as a process that often requires repeated, concrete effort rather than a single insight.
People who choose her tend to be looking for straightforward, skills-based work that connects feelings and behaviors. She encourages realistic steps toward change and helps clients measure progress over time.
How sessions work
How Adrian uses structured approaches online
Adrian commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and pattern-based problems such as rumination or avoidance. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotional regulation and distress tolerance, which can help with impulsivity, strong anger, and coping after a crisis.Motivational Interviewing is another tool she uses when someone feels uncertain about change. This approach focuses on clarifying personal reasons for change and building motivation in short, practical steps. Finding the best mix of approaches is a collaborative process; she will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences.
