About Anita
Anita Adams is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with 11 years of practice. She works with adults coping with stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, anger, relationship concerns, grief, self-esteem, and depression. Her focus includes related issues such as impulsivity, codependency, communication problems, and first responder matters.
Anita uses straightforward, evidence-based methods to help people change patterns that cause repeated conflict or emotional overwhelm. Sessions tend to look at what keeps problems going now and teach practical skills that can be used between meetings. She also works with people processing traumatic events and the strong feelings that follow.
Her approach combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills, Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas, EMDR techniques, and Motivational Interviewing. Those methods are applied in ways aimed at reducing distress, improving relationships, and addressing addictive behavior. Treatment plans emphasize concrete steps and skills practice rather than abstract theory.
Anita has particular experience with abandonment issues, co-morbidity, substance and process addictions, post-traumatic stress, guilt and shame, and relationship control struggles. She helps people recognize triggers, manage impulsive reactions, and rebuild trust in themselves.
Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time and costs vary by location. Prospective clients are asked to follow the service's matching process and schedule an initial appointment to begin.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Anita commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills in sessions. CBT focuses on identifying thinking and behavior patterns that keep problems going and teaching practical exercises to change them. DBT skills add techniques for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication which can help with anger and impulsivity.She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas to help people name and respond to core emotions in relationships. EFT-informed work helps track interaction patterns and practice new responses that reduce escalation and improve connection.
Finding the right mix of approaches is collaborative. Anita will discuss goals and preferences and then try methods that suit the problem at hand. Sessions often include skill practice, homework, and checkpoints to see what is helping, so adjustments are made as needed.

Licensed professionals can use focused skill sessions, trauma processing, or motivational conversations in remote appointments to help people manage anger and related concerns.
