About Anita
LCSW in Kentucky with 13 years of experience, Anita Coffey helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship strain, trauma and depression. She uses client-centered care, solution-focused work, motivational interviewing, and cognitive behavior techniques. Sessions are conducted in English and focus on practical steps people can use between visits.
Anita trained in social work at both undergraduate and graduate levels and has worked across clinical settings. She spent a decade in addiction rehabilitation facilities and has experience in outpatient therapy, school-based work with children, and Drug Court services. More recently she moved into private practice.
Her approach centers on the person rather than labels. She listens for what matters most and helps identify short-term goals. She often combines motivational interviewing with cognitive behavioral techniques to support behavior change and clearer thinking.
Anita also draws on solution-focused and psychodynamic ideas when they help clarify patterns and next steps. That can look like setting small, concrete tasks between sessions or naming recurring relationship patterns to shift how someone responds.
People who reach out can expect direct, practical conversation about current problems and steps to try. She values plain language and straightforward plans. To begin, prospective clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online options button.

How key approaches are used in online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's goals and viewpoint. The therapist listens, reflects, and helps the client decide what matters most. This approach suits people who want a collaborative, non-directive starting point.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that maintain distress. Sessions include practical exercises and small behavioral experiments to reduce anxiety, mood problems, or addiction-related patterns.
Motivational Interviewing uses focused conversation to increase motivation for change. It is often used when someone feels unsure about stopping or reducing substance use or changing a difficult habit.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and everyday constraints, then try methods that fit the client's needs. That collaborative process may combine elements from the approaches above rather than sticking to a single model.
Confirm current session options before booking, since specific formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or family schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Discuss practical arrangements during the initial matching and scheduling steps to choose a format that fits daily life.
