About Anita
Anita Brison is an LPC who uses a client-centered approach to help people with anger, stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. She focuses on practical, down-to-earth support so people can start making changes right away. She listens first and follows each person's pace.
Sessions are aimed at clear goals such as managing strong emotions, improving communication, or coping with life transitions. Anita emphasizes simple strategies that people can try between meetings.
Background and approach
With ten years of experience, Anita draws on several evidence-based methods. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused techniques help clients set realistic steps and stay motivated.
Anita helps with a wide range of concerns beyond anger, including abandonment issues, caregiver stress, blended family dynamics, fertility-related distress, and feelings of emptiness or guilt. She also addresses communication problems, control issues, and the strain that comes with divorce or blending families. She holds a Licensed Professional Counselor credential and practices in Oklahoma.
Sessions are conducted in English and offered through a variety of online formats. The first step is a short matching questionnaire to find a good fit and schedule appointments.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience. In practice this means the therapist follows the client's lead, reflects what they say, and helps them set goals that feel meaningful. It is useful for people who want a supportive space to work through feelings and decide what changes to try.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online CBT sessions often include short exercises and homework to try between meetings, which helps with anxiety, depression, and anger by changing unhelpful thinking patterns. DBT skills are used to teach emotion regulation and coping strategies when feelings feel overwhelming, and these skills adapt well to remote coaching and practice.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with clients about goals, try different techniques, and adjust plans based on what is helpful. That collaborative process helps match methods to a person's needs and preferences.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and skills practice, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports quick check-ins, and messaging lets people reflect in writing between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and keep momentum between meetings.
