About Anita
Dr. Anita Russell is an Oklahoma Psychologist with 30 years of professional experience. She helps people manage stress and anxiety, depression and bipolar symptoms, low self-esteem, and the practical strains of work and life changes.
Her approach is plain and practical. She listens to what is happening now, then works with each person to notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. Sessions focus on short-term strategies and skills people can try between meetings. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered and dialectical behavior ideas when those fit the situation.
Dr. Russell pays attention to difficult feelings that get in the way of daily life. That includes grief, anger, trauma or past abuse, and the heavy weight of shame or guilt. She also supports people dealing with compassion fatigue, career stress, and questions about forgiveness or self-love.
Meetings are conversational and goal-oriented. People can expect to talk through recent problems, try simple experiments in thinking and behavior, and review what did or did not work. Progress is tracked in concrete ways so adjustments are clear.
She works in English and accepts international clients. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled.
How her approaches translate to online work
Dr. Russell combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered methods to frame online sessions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression. Client-centered work emphasizes listening and building a collaborative plan based on what the person reports. Dialectical Behavior Therapy adds skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance when strong emotions or impulsive reactions are present.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client review symptoms, goals, and preferences together and adjust methods as needed. That collaborative stance helps pick which techniques to use and when to try a new tactic.
The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time so skill practice can happen sooner. Confirm current session options before booking since specific formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to keep regular check-ins and to build short, focused homework between meetings so progress is measurable.
