About Anquinette

Anquinette Wiggins is a licensed mental health counselor (LPMHC) based in Delaware with 18 years of experience. She transitioned into counseling after a long career in corporate America and now brings a thoughtful, client-centered perspective to her work.

Background and approach

Her approach draws from multiple therapeutic models to help clients understand recurring emotional and behavioral patterns while also pursuing practical, solution-focused changes. Wiggins often combines Internal Family Systems with cognitive-behavioral and attachment-informed ideas to address trauma, family conflict, depression, anxiety, ADHD-related challenges, caregiver fatigue, and grief.

She frames therapy as a collaborative process that honors each person’s unique background and life circumstances, weaving insight-oriented exploration with skills and strategies for everyday functioning. Prospective clients can expect a respectful, compassionate therapist who values curiosity, patience, and steady progress toward meaningful change.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Internal Family Systems (IFS) views the mind as composed of distinct parts and focuses on understanding and tending to those parts so a person can relate to inner experiences with more compassion and clarity. It can be useful for addressing trauma responses, internal conflicts, and long-standing emotional patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes accepting difficult feelings while clarifying values and committing to actions that move a person toward a meaningful life; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns of relating and helps build healthier connection and emotional regulation skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and will be determined collaboratively. The therapist will work with clients to identify which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences, adjusting methods over time as progress and circumstances evolve.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for scheduling and accessibility. These formats allow consistent contact and steady therapeutic work while accommodating different communication styles and life demands, making it easier to engage in therapy from wherever the client is located in Delaware.
