About Anita

Anita Wiles is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 30 years of professional experience, practicing in Virginia. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, and major life transitions. Anita aims to create a respectful, sensitive, and compassionate space for each person who reaches out.

Her approach is practical and person-centered. Sessions begin by listening to what matters most to the client and identifying small, useful goals.

Background and approach

She tailors conversation and a plan to each person’s situation rather than using one fixed method for everyone. Anita draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address problems such as panic attacks, social anxiety, and post-traumatic stress. She also helps with issues that often accompany these concerns, like guilt, shame, isolation, impulsivity, and trouble communicating with others.

Work together often includes learning coping skills and ways to manage strong emotions. Clients who are facing life transitions - divorce, caregiver stress, midlife questions, or searching for life purpose - will find a steady, practical partner in therapy. Anita also supports people struggling with forgiveness, abandonment wounds, and building self-love.

Therapy is offered in English and is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Anita helps people pace the work to match their goals and daily demands, and she supports the steps clients take toward change.

Online support

How evidence-based approaches fit into online care

Many clients benefit from methods that teach skills and rethink unhelpful patterns. Anita uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and symptom reduction. For example, approaches that focus on recognizing and changing thinking patterns help with anxiety, panic, and social worries by teaching tools to respond differently to stressful thoughts.

Another common approach emphasizes learning coping and emotional regulation skills. This work helps people manage strong feelings, reduce impulsive reactions, and handle cravings or addictive urges. It is often used alongside practical problem-solving for life changes like separation, caregiver stress, or career shifts.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Anita collaborates with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. She adjusts the plan as progress is made and as life circumstances change, so the process stays relevant and doable.

Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited local options. Video calls allow deeper conversation and face-to-face interaction, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work, and live chat or text messaging support shorter check-ins or ongoing encouragement between sessions. These options make it easier to keep momentum while fitting therapy into daily life.
