More about Anita

18 years' experience
Female
LPC

I am an LPC in Missouri with 18 years experience providing counseling to a wide variety of clients. My counseling style is solution based while assisting you with identifying your strengths so that you may use them to their fullest to reach the goals you've set for yourself. I have extensive experience in DBT, and will use these techniques as well so that you can learn to better get through the hard times that life will inevitably send your way sometimes.

I will provide support, but also challenge you on things that just are not working for you and help you find better ways to approach difficulties.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
