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.

About online counseling

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
