About Anita

She writes plainly and listens closely, helping clients talk through what matters most and find practical steps forward.

She spent many years in addiction rehabilitation settings, working in both short- and long-term programs. Anita also has experience in outpatient clinics, drug court, and school-based services.
Background and approach
That background shaped a practical approach to problems like substance use, codependency, and family conflict. Anita favors approaches that center the person and their goals. Sessions tend to focus on identifying clear steps, building motivation for change, and using thought-and-behavior work to reduce distress.
Mindfulness ideas are woven in to help people manage strong emotions and stay present. In a typical session she uses straightforward conversation and written tools when helpful. She adapts to how a person prefers to communicate, whether talking or using messages between sessions.
Anita aims to make therapy understandable and workable for everyday life. Her work addresses a wide range of concerns including abandonment, blended family issues, communication problems, domestic violence, financial stress, mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, forgiveness, guilt, isolation, and life purpose. Anita supports people who want clear, doable strategies and steady support while they make changes.

Online support
How Anita’s approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on what matters to the client and builds a collaborative relationship. It helps people clarify goals and feel heard while deciding which steps to take next.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. CBT provides concrete tools to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns over time.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to lessen reactivity and improve emotional balance. It is useful for stress, trauma responses, and staying present during difficult moments.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be decided together. The therapist will ask about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before, then tailor techniques that fit the person's situation.
Online sessions make it easier to get consistent help without long travel. Video calls work well for full conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for frequent brief check-ins, written reflections, or when someone prefers typing over speaking. These options aim to increase flexibility so therapy fits into everyday life.
