Dr. Anita Anglade, LMFT

Dr. Anita Anglade is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in New York with 12 years of clinical experience. She brings firsthand knowledge of community activism and the emotional costs that come with caring work. She frames therapy around practical steps clients can use to manage stress, depression, anxiety, and compassion fatigue.

Her background includes long involvement in community and social activism. That experience shapes how she talks about balancing a sense of call with everyday life demands. She notices how work that matters can also drain energy and get in the way of joy and creativity.

In sessions she focuses on helping people reconnect to supports and meaningful activities. She uses gentle, goal-oriented methods to reduce overwhelm and rebuild routines. Clients can expect conversations about setting boundaries, finding outlets, and restoring motivation.

Dr. Anglade blends approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based work, and Client-Centered techniques to match each person's needs. She also draws on Emotionally-Focused ideas and Motivational Interviewing when useful to address relationships and change.

She welcomes clients who are grappling with caregiver stress, parenting challenges, blended family concerns, grief, or life changes. Her work is also relevant for people facing substance issues, mood concerns like bipolar or depression, career strain, and identity matters including LGBT issues.

Therapy begins with assessing what matters most and creating simple, sustainable steps forward. Prospective clients who want to focus on preserving their capacity to care for others may find her approach pragmatic and supportive.

Therapeutic approaches and how they fit online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on actions that match a person's values, which can help with anxiety, depression, and compassion fatigue. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationship patterns shape how someone connects and reacts; it can be useful for relationship strain and parenting concerns. Client-Centered Therapy centers on empathic listening and supporting the client's own capacity to find solutions, often helping people build self-esteem and clarity.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then try methods that fit the client's needs. Sessions are collaborative and may mix elements from different approaches as progress and goals evolve.

The therapist's biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, skip travel time, or use shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also allows people to meet with a licensed professional who understands caregiver stress and activism-related strain even if they live far from New York.
