About Anita
Anita Novey is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who combines practical therapy methods with steady support. She focuses on anxiety and related concerns like stress, addiction, depression, grief, intimacy issues, and low self-esteem. Anita draws on 27 years of clinical experience to help people find clearer paths forward.
She spent most of her career at the Federal Bureau of Prisons, including long work as a Drug Treatment Specialist. That role involved counseling adults with substance use disorders and addressing grief and relationship problems alongside addiction work.
Background and approach
Before that she worked in human resources and unit management. Anita uses approaches that include client-centered work, cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and psychodynamic ideas. In sessions she helps people break problems into manageable parts and build practical skills for change.
She also listens for underlying patterns that keep the same problems returning. Her background in organizational psychology and business gives her a pragmatic outlook. Anita aims to help people re-discover strengths and take small steps they can stick with.
She describes progress as steady work rather than quick fixes. People who want flexibility can meet with her online by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Sessions are scheduled through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
Anita offers services in English and practices from Oklahoma.
Therapeutic approaches for online anxiety care
Client-centered therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens and follows the client's lead. It helps people feel heard and supported while they identify goals and make changes.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and patterns that keep problems going by teaching practical coping skills and small experiments.
Motivational interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change and build motivation. This approach is often paired with other methods when someone feels stuck or unsure about next steps.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with clients to decide which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. This may mean trying one approach and adjusting over time based on what helps most.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people use facial cues and a fuller conversation, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for brief check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. Those options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and maintain continuity of care.
