Anita Cohn
Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW)
About Anita
I’m a licensed therapist in Missouri with extensive experience supporting individuals through life’s most challenging transitions and struggles. Throughout my career, I’ve worked with clients across the lifespan, helping them navigate depression, anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties, trauma, and grief with compassion and skill.
My approach is grounded in evidence-based practice and a deep commitment to understanding each person’s unique circumstances. I specialize in working with on issues including life purpose, social anxiety, guilt and shame, mood disorders, women’s issues, workplace concerns, midlife transitions, and young adult challenges. I also have particular expertise supporting clients healing from trauma, managing codependency and commitment issues and processing family-of-origin experiences.
I bring a secular, progressive perspective to therapy and work thoughtfully with multicultural concerns, aging and geriatric issues, adoption and foster care experiences . My style is collaborative and person-centered—I believe you are the expert of your own story, and my role is to listen deeply, ask meaningful questions, and walk alongside you with genuine care and respect.
If you’re considering therapy, I want you to know that taking that step takes courage, and I’m honored to support you on your journey toward healing and growth.
