About Anquinette
Anquinette Wiggins is a Licensed Professional Mental Health Counselor (LPMHC) based in Delaware with 18 years of experience. She left a long corporate career for counseling and now focuses on helping people facing family stress and parenting challenges. Her work also addresses trauma, depression, anxiety, ADHD, and caregiving strain.
She takes a client-centered approach and treats each person as an individual. Sessions look at patterns in thoughts, feelings, and behavior.
Background and approach
Practical problem-solving tools are paired with deeper work about how past relationships shape current ones. Her style blends cognitive behavioral ideas with attachment-informed thinking. That mix helps people manage symptoms and improve everyday relationships.
She also draws on acceptance-focused techniques to help people live according to their values while coping with hard feelings. Anquinette often helps people who are grieving, coping with life changes, or carrying compassion fatigue from caregiving roles. She also addresses adoption and foster care concerns, blended family issues, communication problems, and career questions.
People who choose her tend to want a therapist who is straightforward and reflective. She aims to create a calm space where a parent or individual can talk through tough moments, try new skills, and notice patterns that get in the way of change.

Therapeutic approaches for online parenting and family work
The therapist commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) which focuses on practical strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Attachment-Based Therapy is also used to look at how early relationships affect current connections and parenting styles, helping people notice and change relational patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and needs and together decide which methods to try. That collaborative process can include trying short-term techniques for immediate relief and deeper work that addresses long-standing patterns.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets you see facial expressions and work more directly on interaction patterns. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option and may fit into a short break during the day. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick check-ins, homework support, or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy parenting life.
