About Anita
Anita Novey uses a collaborative, person-centered approach to help people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, and relationship concerns. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 27 years of experience and an emphasis on practical, skill-based work that people can use in daily life.
She spent much of her career working in corrections, where she focused on substance use using a cognitive-behavioral framework. That experience sharpened her skills in building clear plans, setting achievable goals, and teaching tools for relapse prevention and coping.
Background and approach
She also supported clients through grief, relationship problems, and self-esteem challenges. Anita blends client-centered listening with structured methods when they fit the situation. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors.
Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck about making a change. People working with her can expect straightforward conversation, goal setting, and concrete steps between sessions. Anita draws on decades of practical experience to tailor plans to each person's needs.
Sessions focus on real-life problems and building skills that matter day to day. She holds a Master of Arts in Personnel and Organizational Psychology from the University of Central Oklahoma and a Bachelor of Business Administration from Central State University. Anita practices in Oklahoma and conducts sessions in English.
Approaches and Online Options for Practical Change
Anita commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on genuine listening and meeting a person where they are, which helps people feel understood and able to talk through hard issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors, useful for anxiety, depression, and addiction-related patterns.She also draws on Motivational Interviewing when someone is unsure about change; this approach uses guided conversation to clarify goals and increase readiness. Choosing a therapeutic approach is a collaborative process - the therapist and client look at needs, goals, and preferences together and then try methods that fit best. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps most.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill practice, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can suit quick check-ins, and text messaging supports short updates or ongoing encouragement. These options help fit sessions into busy schedules and varied daily routines.
