About Anita

Anita Novey believes in the resilience of the human spirit and in helping people regain direction when life becomes derailed. She spent three decades working for the Federal Bureau of Prisons, where she found deep meaning in guiding adults through recovery and personal growth. Since 1998 she served as a Drug Treatment Specialist, focusing on adult male clients with substance use disorders, and earlier in her career she worked seven years in human resources and unit management before leaving that role due to mandatory retirement.

Throughout her work in corrections she primarily used cognitive-behavioral methods to address addiction, while also supporting clients through grief, loss, and a wide range of relationship concerns. She has a long history of helping people reconnect with their potential, build coping skills, and take practical steps toward healthier lives. Her training includes a Master of Arts in Personnel and Organizational Psychology awarded in 1992 by the University of Central Oklahoma, and a Bachelor of Business Administration earned in 1988 from Central State University in Edmond, Oklahoma.

Anita is a Licensed Professional Counselor - LPC - and brings experience working with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, depression, self-esteem concerns, communication problems, first responder issues, infidelity, and personality disorder presentations. She offers a respectful, strengths-based approach aimed at fostering growth and sustainable change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a collaborative, respectful relationship in which the therapist offers empathy and support while the client explores their values and strengths. This approach can help with relationship concerns, self-esteem, grief, and the emotional aspects of addiction by emphasizing personal insight and empowerment.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, addresses the patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to stress, anxiety, depression, and addictive behaviors. It is practical and skill-oriented, helping clients learn new coping strategies and reframe unhelpful thinking in order to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.

Motivational Interviewing is a goal-focused, client-centered technique that helps people resolve ambivalence about change. It is often used with clients facing addiction, readiness to change, and other behavioral shifts by enhancing internal motivation and setting achievable steps forward.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Anita works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors care based on what the client hopes to achieve and adapts techniques as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with a licensed professional offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit care into busy schedules and to maintain continuity when in-person meetings are difficult. These options support ongoing work on stress, anxiety, addiction, relationships, and other concerns by allowing clients to connect from different locations and at different times.
