About Anita
Anita Dorey is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Arkansas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, anger, and the effects of trauma. She has 17 years of experience working in community mental health and uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions.
She focuses on immediate concerns like panic attacks, social anxiety, and post-traumatic stress while also working on self-esteem and long-term coping skills. Sessions aim to build hope and increase resilience so clients can move toward their goals.
How Anita works
Anita adapts conversations and plans to each person's needs instead of using one-size-fits-all approaches. Her style is warm and client-centered. That means she listens first, then helps people notice unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) tools are used to identify patterns that keep problems going and to practice alternatives in real life. Motivational Interviewing helps when making changes feels overwhelming or confusing. Anita uses that approach to support commitment and to break changes into manageable steps.
She brings a steady, respectful presence to sessions and follows clear ethical standards. People who reach out can expect a tailored plan, clear goals, and practical homework when appropriate. Anita’s goal is to help people discover strengths, reduce symptoms, and find more satisfying ways to cope with daily stressors.

How Anita’s approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person’s experience. Online sessions use that same style so the therapist learns what matters most before suggesting steps. This approach helps when people need a calm space to sort feelings and priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. In online sessions Anita helps clients spot unhelpful thinking and practice new behaviors between meetings. CBT is often useful for anxiety, panic attacks, and low mood because it gives concrete exercises to try at home.
Motivational Interviewing supports change by exploring a person’s own reasons for shifting habits. Through gentle questions and reflection, the therapist helps clients build motivation and set small, achievable goals.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Anita will discuss your needs, goals, and preferences and then tailor techniques together. The plan can change as progress is made so methods stay useful.
Online therapy offers flexibility and several ways to connect. Video calls let you see facial cues and hold a longer session. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and work well for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to share thoughts in between meetings and to fit support into a busy day.
