About Anita

Anita Carter is a Licensed Independent Social Worker who delivers clinical psychotherapy to individuals, couples, and groups. She holds the credential LISW-CP, which stands for Licensed Independent Social Worker - Clinical Practice, and brings a compassionate, steady approach to clients facing life challenges, crises, and transitions.

Anita relies on evidence-based therapies to guide her work, drawing on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to tailor interventions to each person’s needs. She combines clinical methods with an attentive, listening stance to build a positive therapeutic alliance and create practical pathways for change.

Her background includes extensive experience with addictions, anxiety disorders, depression, relational and couples concerns, coping with medical issues, grief, and work-life balance. Anita approaches these issues with sensitivity to their complexity and allows time to understand each client’s priorities and goals.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Anita draws on Client-Centered Therapy to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the client's perspective guides the work. This approach emphasizes empathy and collaboration and helps people clarify goals and build self-directed solutions. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a practical, skills-based method that looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and helps clients develop tools to manage anxiety, depression, and stress. In addition, Mindfulness Therapy is incorporated when appropriate to help clients develop present-moment awareness and strategies for coping with emotional reactivity and chronic stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Anita works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts strategies over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy offers flexibility by making sessions accessible via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options allow people to engage in therapy from different locations and schedules, making it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, and other responsibilities.
