About Anquinette
Anquinette Wiggins is a licensed mental health counselor (LPMHC) practicing in Delaware with 18 years of therapeutic experience.
Background and approach
She transitioned into counseling after a long corporate career and has since built a practice focused on helping people address family and relational struggles, trauma and abuse, mood concerns such as depression and bipolar, anxiety and stress, and challenges like ADHD, grief, and caregiver fatigue.
Her work also extends to issues around intimacy, self-esteem, career changes, and life purpose. Her style blends client-centered listening with practical, evidence-informed methods.
She draws from cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and integrates attachment-based and emotionally focused perspectives to explore relationship patterns and emotional bonds. This combined approach supports clients who want both insight into longstanding patterns and concrete skills for managing day-to-day challenges.
Clients can expect a collaborative, respectful relationship that honors each person’s unique context, including adoption and foster care concerns, chronic illness, blended family dynamics, and caregiving stress. She practices from Wilmington, Delaware, offers services in English, and works with a broad range of life and relational issues without accepting international clients at this time.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Many of her sessions draw on cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying and shifting patterns of thought and behavior to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. This approach is often helpful for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and stress management.She also uses acceptance and commitment therapy to help clients clarify values, tolerate difficult emotions, and commit to meaningful actions despite distress. ACT can be especially useful for navigating life changes, caregiving strain, and issues of purpose. Attachment-based work complements these methods by exploring how early and current relational patterns shape emotional responses and relationship dynamics, supporting work on intimacy, communication, and family concerns.
Choosing the right approach is part of therapy, and she works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods suit their goals, preferences, and circumstances. That process may involve trying different techniques, adjusting the focus over time, and combining approaches to match what emerges in sessions.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules and varying comfort levels. These options make it easier to fit regular sessions into life routines and to continue care through transitions while working with licensed professionals.
