Anita Isaac

Therapist

Virtual • South Carolina


I'm a South Carolina-based therapist who has spent my career working in university counseling and community mental health. I've sat with people across a wide range of life circumstances: college students navigating pressure and identity, adults working through trauma, family stress, or grief, teens figuring out who they are and how to be. I work with children, teens, and adults, and I bring the same direct, grounded energy to every session. Therapy with me isn't slow or vague. You'll leave with a clearer head and actual tools to use.

You replay conversations long after they're over. You shut down or say too much, then spend the day wishing you hadn't. You're not bad at relationships. You're anxious in them. You hold back. You give in to keep the peace, then quietly resent it. You want to be closer to the people you love. but something always gets in the way. It doesn't have to stay this way.

As a licensed mental health counselor, I believe mental health ties to many different aspects of our lives. Many people find it difficult to ask for help and I can see the difference when people make that first step. My goal is that people do not struggle alone and I am here to help. I work with adults of all ages but really enjoy working with couples and women who experience anxiety, depression, or PTSD.
