Anchanese Levison , LPC

Anchanese Levison believes that meaningful change can begin at any point in life and welcomes people who are ready to take that step. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor with academic training that includes a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Tougaloo College and a Master of Science in Counseling Psychology with a specialization in Mental and Behavioral Health from Mississippi College. As a licensed clinician she holds the LPC credential, and she is also nationally certified through the National Board for Certified Counselors and trained as a Certified Anger Management Specialist, giving her specific preparation for working with anger-related concerns.

Her experience spans psychiatric residential treatment facilities, collegiate programs, and community-based treatment settings, and she has worked with individuals from diverse backgrounds as well as underserved populations. That breadth of practice informs a flexible, empathetic approach rooted in helping people find practical ways to improve day-to-day functioning and emotional wellbeing.

Driven by a desire to help others improve their quality of life, Anchanese emphasizes the value of a dependable listening presence. She views therapy as a collaborative pathway to coping, healing, and navigating new directions when someone feels ready to make a change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space in which the person leads the conversation while the therapist offers empathy and support. This approach is useful for building self-awareness, improving self-esteem, and working through relationship or life transitions.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, blends skills training and practical strategies to help manage intense emotions, reduce impulsive reactions, and improve interpersonal effectiveness. It is often helpful for people dealing with strong mood swings, anger, or patterns of acting on impulse.

Anchanese approaches treatment collaboratively and recognizes that finding the best therapeutic fit is part of the work. She partners with each person to identify goals, test what helps, and adjust methods based on the client s needs and preferences so care feels personalized and relevant.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, over the phone, through live chat, or via text-based messaging - making it easier to fit support into a busy schedule and to access licensed professionals from different locations. These options allow people to pursue consistent, ongoing work with a therapist in ways that suit their life and comfort level.
