Dr. Anita Anglade , LMFT

Dr. Anita Anglade brings a long-standing commitment to social activism into her therapeutic work, offering support to people who are working to make positive change in their communities. She has spent her career engaged in community and social activism and understands the emotional toll that sustained helping work can take on personal life. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), she combines clinical training with lived experience to help clients manage compassion fatigue, stress, depression, and anxiety.

Grounded in her own spirituality, Dr. Anglade respects faith as a source of meaning while recognizing it does not prevent burnout or emotional strain. She helps clients identify natural and community-based supports and develop practical strategies to restore balance. Her approach emphasizes honoring a sense of vocational calling while creating space for joy, creativity, and everyday self-care as essential components of long-term wellbeing.

Whether addressing relationship and family challenges, caregiving stress, or the pressures of activism, Dr. Anglade works to help people reconnect to their values and build routines that sustain both purpose and personal life.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support for Caregivers and Activists

Dr. Anglade often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify their values and take meaningful action even when difficult thoughts and feelings are present. ACT can be useful for managing anxiety, stress, and decisions tied to life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy is also central to her work and focuses on how early and current relationship patterns shape emotional responses - it helps with relationship challenges, caregiving strain, and issues of trust and connection. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is used to identify and shift negative interaction patterns in close relationships and supports couples or family members working through conflict and distress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the collaborative process. Dr. Anglade works with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences and tailors methods so therapy feels practical and relevant. She views the client and therapist as partners in determining what will be most helpful over time.

Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or caregiving and advocacy responsibilities. Sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing clients to access licensed professionals from home or between commitments and to choose the communication style that fits their life.
