Getting to know Anita Aasen

Anita Salek Aasen, LCSW has been a social worker for over 30 years, providing compassionate, client-focused care across a variety of settings. She has conducted over 10,000 online therapy sessions and holds licenses in four states. A graduate of Fordham University, Anita’s approach is person-centered and holistic, blending elements of CBT and DBT. She believes deeply in the healing power of humor and the restorative benefits of nature. Her specialties include grief counseling, anxiety and stress reduction, depression, and trauma work. Inspired by her own grief journey, Anita became a therapist and has recently added writing to her repertoire, publishing a book about her personal healing process. Outside of her work, she is a devoted animal lover, sharing her home with an “old man” Chihuahua and two delightfully quarrelsome cats. She also enjoys cooking and finding joy in life’s simple pleasures.
