About Anita

Anita Adams is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado who uses emotionally-focused methods alongside practical strategies. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, anger, and big life changes. Anita focuses on making therapy clear and doable for people who feel overwhelmed.

In sessions she listens for patterns that keep people stuck, such as shame, impulsivity, or problems with communication. She pairs Emotionally-Focused Therapy with tools from cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior approaches to help people name feelings and try small changes.

Background and approach

Anita also uses EMDR and motivational interviewing when those fit a person's needs. Her approach is direct but warm. She supports people as they sort through trauma, work on sobriety or process loss.

Anita aims to help people build coping skills and stronger emotional awareness rather than relying on long explanations. Anita has 11 years of clinical experience. She brings practical steps into conversations so people can test new responses between sessions.

Sessions may include short skill practice, focused emotional reflection, or problem-focused planning depending on the moment. Therapy is offered in formats that suit different schedules, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Anita asks new clients to complete a short questionnaire to match on goals and schedule.

Online support

Emotion-focused and skills-based care online

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and name deep emotions and attachment patterns that shape their reactions. It can be useful for processing strong feelings, improving self-understanding, and changing how a person responds to emotional triggers.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It uses clear, practical exercises to test unhelpful beliefs and try new actions that reduce anxiety or depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Anita will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and she adapts tools as progress is made. The goal is to match the approach to the person's needs rather than use a single method for everyone.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different schedules and needs. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messages are useful for brief check-ins, skill practice, or when someone needs flexible timing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other obligations while using the therapeutic methods described above.
