About Anita
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Arkansas with 17 years of experience, Anita Dorey helps people who are struggling with depression, anxiety, stress, anger, and the effects of trauma. She works with panic disorder, post-traumatic stress, social anxiety and phobia, and uses client-centered methods alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing. Anita conducts short, direct conversations to identify what feels most urgent and practical for each person.
Anita prefers clear, straightforward sessions. She focuses on what a person is facing now and on small, usable steps they can try between meetings. Sessions often include talking through thoughts and behaviors, testing small changes, and checking what worked afterward.
Her approach is collaborative. She listens first, then helps set goals together. Motivational Interviewing is used when someone feels stuck or uncertain about change. Cognitive Behavioral techniques are used to spot thinking patterns that feed anxiety or low mood.
Anita's background is in community mental health and she brings 17 years of direct practice to each case. She follows ethical principles and professional standards in her work. The LPC credential stands for Licensed Professional Counselor.
Practical matters are discussed openly in early meetings. Anita and the person scheduling will go over session logistics and how the subscription-based billing works. Prospective clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session to begin.
Sessions are delivered in English. International clients are not accepted at this time. Confirm current session options before booking to ensure they fit your needs.

How her approaches shape online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting. The therapist follows the person's lead to identify what matters most and then builds goals from there. This approach helps when a person needs space to explain their situation and feel understood.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Sessions using CBT typically involve identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing practical changes between meetings. That approach is often used for anxiety, panic, and depression.
Motivational Interviewing helps when someone is unsure about making changes. It uses questions and reflections to clarify values and boost readiness for action. This can support movement toward goals without pressure.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the early work. The therapist will review needs, goals, and preferences and then recommend which methods to use together. This is a collaborative process with regular check-ins on what is helping.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking, since the biography does not list them. Discussing logistics happens during the matching questionnaire and first session. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals often adapt techniques so sessions remain practical and focused regardless of how they are delivered.
