About Anita

Anita Brison is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor with ten years of clinical experience, licensed in Arizona and Oklahoma. She works with adults on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, anger, depression, relationships, and family-related problems. Sessions are practical and focused on helping people regain steadiness when emotions feel overwhelming.

She uses straightforward methods to address what is happening now. Anita brings Client-Centered Therapy into sessions by listening and helping clients name their goals. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at thoughts and behaviors that keep anger and anxiety active. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used for emotion regulation and reducing impulsive reactions.

Anita also uses Motivational Interviewing to support people when change feels difficult. Solution-Focused Therapy helps create small, doable steps toward better communication and less reactivity. Together these approaches produce concrete tools rather than abstract theories.

Her background includes working with people navigating relationship strain, blended-family questions, caregiver stress, and issues around grief, abandonment, and aging. She also addresses control problems, guilt and shame, and problems that come up during divorce or separation.

Sessions aim to reduce flash reactions, manage persistent resentment, and build clearer communication habits. Anita helps clients practice new ways of responding so anger does not take over daily life. If someone wants to learn skills for handling workplace frustration or tense family moments, she focuses on steps that fit everyday routines.

How sessions work

How Anita’s approaches translate to online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and helping the client set clear goals. Online work using this approach looks like regular check-ins, problem clarification, and deciding what matters most to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down thoughts, feelings, and actions into manageable parts and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. In virtual sessions that means practicing thought records, behavioral experiments, and direct feedback on techniques that reduce anger and anxiety.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Anita collaborates with clients to decide whether CBT, DBT skills, or motivational interviewing fits best for a person’s goals. She adjusts methods based on what helps the client feel less reactive and more in control of daily responses.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule therapy around work, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins on busy days. They also let people practice new skills in their own routines and bring real-life situations into discussion during appointments.
