About Anita
Anita Brison is an LPC with ten years of experience and holds LPC credentials in Arizona and Oklahoma. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, family concerns, anger, and depression. Anita also addresses issues such as abandonment, caregiver stress, blended family challenges, and communication problems.
She favors clear, person-focused conversations that help people identify what is most difficult right now. Sessions aim to break concerns into manageable steps. Anita uses practical strategies so people can try something between meetings and report back on what helped.
Anita draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy. She blends these methods to suit the problem at hand, for example using CBT tools for anxious thinking and DBT skills for emotion regulation.
Her background includes work with adults facing life transitions and relationship strain. She has experience supporting people coping with grief, guilt, feelings of emptiness, and co-occurring concerns such as impulsivity or control issues. That experience informs practical coping plans and communication practice in sessions.
Anita expects to work collaboratively on specific goals. People often focus on improving communication, reducing avoidance, or managing intense emotions. The aim is to leave sessions with clear next steps and skills to use in everyday situations.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people feel understood; it supports work on communication and self-direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks patterns of anxious or depressive thinking into specific steps and teaches practical techniques to try between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, helpful for people who struggle with impulsivity or strong emotional reactions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Anita will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That might mean starting with CBT techniques for worrying, then adding DBT skills for emotion regulation, or emphasizing solution-focused work for immediate, practical changes.
The practical benefit of online sessions is fitting therapy into ordinary life. Confirm the current session formats before booking, as specific formats are set by the practice. Online work can make it easier to schedule sessions around work or caregiving, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. The therapist and client will agree together on session length and homework that fit daily routines.
