About Anita
Anita Adams is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Colorado who centers her practice on cognitive behavioral strategies alongside complementary evidence-based methods.
Background and approach
With 11 years of experience, she helps people untangle patterns that contribute to stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, and anger, and she uses structured interventions to build practical coping skills and clearer emotional insight. Her work often addresses trauma and abuse, impulsivity, shame and guilt, and relationship-related concerns including communication problems and codependency.
Anita integrates approaches such as DBT skills for emotion regulation, EMDR techniques when trauma processing is appropriate, and motivational interviewing to support recovery from substance and process addictions. She emphasizes collaborative goal-setting so clients develop tools that fit their daily lives.
Anita maintains professional credentials in Colorado and draws on more than a decade of clinical experience to tailor treatment to each person’s needs. Sessions focus on identifying unhelpful patterns, practicing alternative responses, and strengthening resilience so clients can move through life transitions with greater confidence and clarity.
CBT and Trauma-Informed Care Delivered Online
Anita commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; CBT emphasizes practical skills and homework-based practice that can support improvements in anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. She also draws on EMDR for clients whose histories include trauma - EMDR focuses on processing distressing memories and reducing their emotional intensity through guided bilateral stimulation. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are used to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness when intense emotions or impulsivity are present.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist discusses goals, symptom patterns, and client preferences to determine which methods are most appropriate, and she adjusts strategies over time to better match progress and changing needs.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to fit regular sessions into busy lives and to maintain continuity when in-person meetings are not possible, while still applying structured CBT exercises, DBT skills coaching, and trauma-focused interventions in remote sessions.
