Dr. Anat Anais, LCSW

Dr. Anat Anais is a clinical social worker licensed in New York with more than 30 years of direct practice experience. She earned both her master's and doctorate degrees in social work from Adelphi University in New York State, and she brings that advanced training to work with people from diverse backgrounds facing a broad range of concerns. Over the course of her career she has supported individuals dealing with depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress, relationship difficulties, parenting challenges, and the consequences of trauma and abuse.

Her approach is rooted in humanistic, person-centered, and strengths-oriented principles. She does not rely on a single method for every person; instead she integrates multiple theories and practice models to address each client’s unique situation. Dr. Anais collaborates with clients to tailor treatment plans that reflect their needs and preferences, adapting strategies as progress and goals evolve.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), she focuses on building a respectful, supportive therapeutic relationship and on practical steps toward clients’ goals. She looks forward to working with individuals who are ready to explore change and develop greater resilience and well-being.

Therapeutic Approaches and Remote Care

Dr. Anat Anais integrates several evidence-informed approaches to address emotional and relational concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns of connection formed early in life and how those patterns affect current relationships - it can be useful for people coping with abandonment, attachment issues, or relationship strains. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, respect, and the client’s own strengths; it supports people working on self-esteem, coping with life changes, and building personal insight. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and it is often applied for anxiety, depression, and stress-related difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Anais works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made. This collaborative stance helps ensure that therapy feels relevant and workable for the individual.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can make scheduling more flexible and reduce travel barriers. Licensed professionals and therapists can adapt these formats to offer consistent support across life changes and busy schedules, allowing clients to access care in ways that suit their routines and needs.
