About Anita
Anita Novey is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who uses practical, people-focused therapy to help clients find steadier ground. She draws on 27 years of experience to guide conversations about stress, anxiety, grief, addiction, relationships, and self-esteem. Anita speaks plainly and focuses on what can change now.
Anita spent much of her career working in the Federal Bureau of Prisons, where she served as a Drug Treatment Specialist from 1998 onward.
How Anita works
Before that she worked in human resources and unit management. That background gave her long experience with substance use concerns, communication problems, and the behavioral work that supports recovery. Her approach mixes client-centered work with cognitive behavioral tools and motivational interviewing.
She also brings in psychodynamic ideas when helpful to look at patterns that repeat over time. In sessions she helps people identify small, manageable changes and build on those wins. Anita often addresses intimacy-related issues, infidelity, personality disorder challenges, and first responder stress.
She also supports people dealing with depression and grief, helping them rebuild routines and regain a sense of purpose. Her style is direct but empathetic, aimed at practical progress rather than jargon. Clients meet with her by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging.
She works from Oklahoma and conducts sessions in English. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person in the room and their goals. The therapist listens closely, reflects what is said, and helps people decide their next steps; this approach is useful for building self-esteem and working through relationship and intimacy concerns.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and actions affect mood and behavior. It breaks concerns into manageable steps and teaches tools for anxiety, depression, and addiction-related patterns. Motivational interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change and strengthens commitment to recovery, especially around substance use or repeated behaviors.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Anita will discuss options and tailor methods based on each person's needs, goals, and preferences in a collaborative way. Together they decide whether to focus on skills, motivation, or patterns from the past.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let the therapist and client use facial cues and screen sharing for worksheets, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep momentum between meetings.
