Anita Thornton

Therapist

Virtual • Las Vegas, NV


I approach therapy as a collaborator. My method is client-centered and humanistic. I aim to accompany my clients in achieving the goals brought into the therapeutic environment with openness, empathy, and compassion. Creating goals in small steps is vital for progress and change. Identifying insecure attachment and dysfunctional patterns will lead to lasting change. My clients can learn to recognize unhealthy cycles and gain a deeper understanding of their attachment styles.

Currently, I do not provide therapy for couples or minors.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right LGBTQ-friendly therapy provider for you

Headway makes it easier to connect with affirming therapists who understand your identity — from finding the right therapist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a LGBTQIA+ Therapist in Las Vegas

Finding LGBTQIA+ therapists in Las Vegas starts with looking for identity-affirming care. The right therapist should have experience supporting LGBTQIA+ people with concerns such as identity exploration, relationship stress, family conflict, anxiety, depression, or trauma. Look for therapists who list affirmative therapy, gender-diverse experience, WPATH training, or LGBTQIA+-affirming care in their profiles. These details can help you find someone whose training and specialties match what you want to address in therapy.

Las Vegas has many therapists across neighborhoods and surrounding areas, which can make it harder to narrow your options. Virtual therapy can also expand your search if you want more choice in LGBTQIA+-affirming care or need a schedule that fits around work, school, caregiving, or commute time. As you compare therapists, look at appointment availability, whether they offer a free phone consultation, and how they describe their approach. Reading bios can help you see whether a therapist works with LGBTQIA+ individuals, couples, or families, including people searching for lesbian therapy, LGBTQIA+ couples therapy, or gay marriage counseling.

Therapy in Las Vegas can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs, and seeing your estimated out-of-pocket cost before booking can make the process clearer. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, with many accepting new patients and offering in-person or virtual appointments, so you can compare bios, review availability, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
