About Anita
Anita Cohn is a Missouri-based licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 21 years of experience. She focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and relationship concerns. Anita believes clients know their own stories and brings a steady, respectful presence to help them move forward.
She listens first and asks practical questions to clarify what matters most. Sessions aim to build on strengths and reduce what gets in the way of daily life.
Background and approach
Anita uses straightforward tools and talks through coping strategies that can be used between appointments. Her work includes attention to attachment, abandonment, family of origin issues, and challenges like codependency or commitment worries. She also supports people dealing with eating or sleeping problems, substance concerns, life transitions, and midlife questions.
Trauma and abuse are approached with care and methods that focus on healing from those experiences. Anita draws on several approaches including client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, psychodynamic ideas, trauma-focused methods, and EMDR. She adapts these to each person’s needs rather than following a fixed script.
The goal is practical progress and clearer choices. Sessions are offered in English and are provided through remote formats. Anita encourages a collaborative process where the client’s priorities guide the plan.
If someone is ready to start, she supports taking that first step and scheduling the first meeting.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches and online options for healing
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s point of view and builds on strengths to help people make choices that fit their lives. It is useful for stress, relationship questions, and when someone needs a supportive space to sort feelings.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact. It teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful habits through homework and focused exercises.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is used as a trauma-focused method that helps reduce the hold of distressing memories using a structured, stepwise process to reprocess upsetting experiences.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Anita will collaborate with each person to choose or blend methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. That plan can change as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and a fuller conversation, phone calls can fit into a busy day or require less bandwidth, live chat can work for brief check-ins, and messaging helps maintain continuity between sessions. These options make scheduling easier and let people access care from different locations while keeping the focus on steady progress.
