About Anita

Online therapy approaches and what they offer

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, focuses on teaching practical skills for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving relationships. It can be especially helpful for people who struggle with emotional reactivity or patterns that cause repeated interpersonal conflict. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors so they can respond to challenges more effectively; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related issues. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, validation, and building on a person’s strengths so clients feel supported while discovering their own solutions to life problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Anita Harris works collaboratively with clients and licensed professionals to determine which methods align with each person’s needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts techniques over time as those needs change.

Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility that fits busy schedules and varied lifestyles. These options make it easier to access consistent care from home or other convenient locations, support timely check-ins between sessions, and allow clients to choose the format that feels most comfortable for them.
