Anquinette Wiggins, LPMHC

Anquinette Wiggins is a licensed professional mental health counselor with 18 years of clinical experience in Delaware. She began counseling after a long corporate career and now focuses on helping people manage everyday stresses and deeper emotional concerns. Her approach centers on practical problem solving and understanding patterns that keep clients stuck.

Wiggins uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and tolerate difficult feelings while taking meaningful action. Attachment-based ideas guide work around close relationships and how early patterns affect current connections.

Sessions aim to be collaborative and straightforward. Wiggins listens closely, checks what is working, and adjusts plans to fit each person. She often blends short-term skills practice with deeper conversation about family history and relationship patterns.

Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, depression, anxiety, ADHD, grief, parenting stress, relationship and intimacy problems, and caregiver burnout. She also supports people facing career transitions, questions of life purpose, and chronic illness or pain.

Wiggins offers video, phone, chat, and text-based counseling for people in Delaware. She works in English and uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To start, a brief matching questionnaire helps pair a person with a schedule for session booking.

How core approaches translate to online care

CBT helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and practice small behavior changes. Online, those exercises can include tracked homework, brief skill practice during a video call, or short text check-ins to reinforce new habits.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy emphasizes values and committed action even when feelings are difficult. In remote sessions the therapist and client can review values, set concrete goals, and use messaging between sessions to report progress and barriers.

Attachment-based ideas focus on patterns in relationships and how early bonds shape current reactions. Conversations about attachment fit well into video or phone sessions where tone and response can be explored, and chat or text can be used for follow-up reflections.

Finding the right approach is a shared task. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods to try based on goals, preferences, and how they respond. Plans are adjusted over time so sessions remain useful and relevant.

Online formats offer flexibility and easier scheduling. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, and live chat or text messaging work well for quick check-ins, skill prompts, or keeping momentum between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while using the therapist's approaches effectively.
