About Anjanette

Anjanette Morton is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in New York with five years of experience. She works with adults who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, trauma, relationship strain, anger, self-esteem issues, bipolar disorder, and major life changes. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients.

Her style is straightforward and collaborative. She treats the person as the expert on their life and helps them talk through the thoughts and situations that fuel difficult feelings. Early meetings focus on understanding current problems and clear goals for what the person wants to handle differently.

Therapy draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to notice thinking patterns and change unhelpful behavior. Elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness are added when they fit the goals. She may use readings or light humor as practical tools during work together.

In sessions she helps people identify triggers for anger, stress, and cravings, and then rehearses small, concrete skills to respond differently. Work can include changing unhelpful thinking, practicing grounding or breathing, and setting boundaries in relationships. The focus is on skills that can be used in everyday situations.

Anjanette emphasizes collaboration: she checks in about what is working and what needs to change. If someone chooses to continue after the first meeting, subsequent sessions look at root causes, coping plans, and stepwise practice to reduce reactivity and improve daily functioning.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting caught in them and choose actions that reflect personal values; it can help with anger that comes from avoidance or stuck patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and anger triggered by distorted thinking. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds concrete emotion-regulation and distress-tolerance skills for intense feelings and urges.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to try methods that match goals and preferences, and will adjust strategies based on what helps most. Sessions aim to test small changes and build practical skills together.

The original profile does not specify which online session formats are used, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, reduce travel time, and let people practice skills in the settings where problems happen. Licensed professionals often use these practical advantages to help clients apply new coping techniques to everyday situations.
