About Anita
Anita Scarborough is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida. She uses a person-centered approach to help people manage anxiety, stress, depression, and mood concerns. Anita focuses on practical steps clients can try between sessions to make daily life feel more manageable.
She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to tailor care to each person's needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep anxiety or depression active.
Background and approach
Trauma-focused methods are used when past events affect present-day emotions and relationships. Anita also works with attachment and relationship concerns. She helps people understand patterns that show up in close relationships and offers ways to shift those patterns.
Communication skills and problem-solving strategies are common parts of her work. She has 12 years of experience in counseling and holds a master’s degree in psychology and counseling from Troy State University. That background informs how she balances practical tools with listening and support.
Sessions are offered in English and organized around what each person needs most. For those who prefer remote care, Anita provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling so sessions can begin in a way that fits the person’s goals.
Evidence-based approaches and online care that fit your life
Anita uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change thought patterns and behaviors that keep anxiety and depression active. CBT breaks problems into smaller parts so people can test new ways of thinking and behaving and see what works in daily life.She also uses trauma-focused techniques when past events continue to affect mood and relationships. Those methods focus on reducing distress linked to traumatic memories and building skills to manage strong emotional reactions.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Anita works with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, comfort level, and what they want to change. Together they check progress and adjust the plan as needed.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide options that fit different schedules. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat is handy for brief check-ins, and messaging lets people send updates between meetings. These formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, and daily life.
