Anita Preble

Anita Preble is an LMHC licensed in Massachusetts with more than 28 years of clinical experience working with children and families. She brings a problem-solving orientation to therapy, combining an emphasis on understanding how feelings arise with practical steps clients can take to manage day-to-day challenges. Her practice addresses a broad range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting and blended family issues, relationship and family dynamics, mood disorders, grief, and addictions.

She and her husband have been foster parents and adopted their youngest son through the foster care system, and that lived experience informs her work with adoption and foster care matters. In clinical work she draws on evidence-informed frameworks such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness approaches, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy to tailor interventions to each person’s needs.

Anita works with people facing transitions, parenting and co-parenting challenges, chronic health concerns, and a range of behavioral and emotional issues. She aims to help clients identify coping strategies, set attainable goals, and develop concrete steps to move forward while attending to the personal history that shapes current patterns.
