She spent much of her career working for the Federal Bureau of Prisons, including long-term roles as a drug treatment specialist and in human resources.
Background and approach
That work involved supporting adults with substance use issues and addressing related topics like grief, relationships, and self-esteem. Anita combines real-world experience with a steady, grounded approach. In sessions she uses clear, active techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to help people change unhelpful thinking and behavior.
She pairs that with client-centered listening so people feel heard while they set goals. Motivational interviewing helps when someone is unsure about making a change. Clients can expect practical strategies they can try between sessions.
Anita helps people build better communication, address intimacy concerns, and cope with loss. She also supports those handling the stresses that come with certain jobs, including first responder issues. Anita earned a Master of Arts in Personnel and Organizational Psychology from the University of Central Oklahoma and a Bachelor of Business Administration from Central State University.
She practices in Oklahoma and conducts sessions in English. Her background blends counseling skills with long experience in structured treatment settings.

How Anita’s Approaches Work Online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's perspective. The therapist follows the client's lead, offers empathy, and helps clients clarify goals and values; this works well for relationship and self-esteem concerns.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers specific tools and exercises to change unhelpful thinking and reduce anxiety or depression symptoms, and it is useful for stress and addiction-related patterns.
Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels unsure about making a change. It uses guided questions and reflective listening to strengthen a person's own reasons for change and build motivation.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit the client's needs, and adjust the plan as progress is made. This is a collaborative process where preferences and results guide decisions.
Online sessions can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different routines. Video is helpful for in-depth conversations and visual cues, phone sessions require less bandwidth, live chat can work for brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to keep momentum between sessions.
