She works with adults who are managing stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship tensions, and family-related concerns.

She uses straightforward, evidence-informed methods to help people name their concerns and try new ways of coping.

How sessions work
How Anita’s approaches are used in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding an adult’s perspective. The therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects concerns, and clarifies goals to keep sessions relevant and direct. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) works on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. In practice this looks like identifying unhelpful thought patterns, trying specific behavioral experiments, and using skills to reduce anxiety or depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with anger, impulsivity, and relationship strain.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Anita will review your needs, goals, and preferences and recommend which methods to try first. That decision is collaborative and may change as progress is made or priorities shift.
The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy routine, shorter check-ins when needed, and options for sessions that do not require travel. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to balance caregiving and work responsibilities while still getting regular support.
