About Anquinette
Anquinette Wiggins is a licensed professional mental health counselor (LPMHC) with 18 years of clinical experience. She moved into counseling after a long corporate career and now helps people facing depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma, and relationship challenges. Her style is warm and down-to-earth, aimed at practical change and clearer daily functioning.
She blends approaches rather than using a single method. Sessions often include noticing patterns of feeling and behavior, testing small changes, and strengthening important relationships.
Background and approach
Conversations are straightforward and focused on what will make life feel more manageable for the client. Anquinette draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and cognitive behavioral techniques to help clients notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. Attachment-based ideas guide work on close relationships and healing from past wounds.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy adds tools for repairing bonds and improving emotional connection. Clients who seek help for parenting stress, caregiver fatigue, grief, career transitions, or long-standing family problems will find practical strategies in sessions. She also supports people coping with chronic illness, adoption and foster care issues, and identity concerns such as LGBT-related stress.
Work begins by clarifying goals and testing small, doable steps. Over time the aim is clearer choices, fewer stuck patterns, and stronger relationships. Anquinette practices in Delaware and offers video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging formats to fit busy schedules.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and then choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions where avoiding feelings gets in the way of living well. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying concrete behavior changes to reduce symptoms like depression and anxiety. It works well when someone wants practical steps to feel better.Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Sessions may mix elements from different approaches and evolve as needs change, so the plan is tested and adjusted together.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video is useful when visual cues and longer conversation help. Phone can work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for brief updates, skill practice between sessions, or when typing feels easier than talking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine and keep continuity of care when schedules change.
