About Annemarie
Annemarie Halbert is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in New Jersey with 21 years of clinical experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, anger, and related concerns. Her focus includes mood disorders, ADHD, relationship and family problems, and caregiver strain.
She uses a practical, person-focused way of working. Sessions begin by identifying realistic, achievable goals for daily life. Annemarie blends ideas from psychodynamic therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to help people understand patterns and try different behaviors. She also uses client-centered principles to keep the work grounded in the person’s priorities.
In practice she talks through thoughts and reactions, helps spot unhelpful patterns, and practices alternative responses. Mindfulness tools and motivational interviewing are part of her toolkit for building steady change and addressing motivation around addiction or lifestyle shifts. Work on anger often includes skills to notice triggers, slow escalation, and communicate needs more clearly.
Her background includes two decades of work with people facing trauma and loss, first responder and veteran-related concerns, and hospice and end-of-life issues. That experience informs how she approaches grief, guilt, and strained relationships. Annemarie aims for clear, attainable steps rather than abstract goals.
To begin she typically asks people to define a few immediate goals and then tests practical strategies in sessions. She prefers straightforward language and short, actionable homework between appointments to reinforce progress.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's concerns and priorities. The therapist listens, reflects, and helps shape practical goals that fit daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thought and behavior patterns and practices small experiments to change unhelpful responses. Mindfulness therapy teaches attention and grounding skills to reduce reactivity and manage stress and anger.Choosing an approach is collaborative. Annemarie will review goals and preferences with the client and recommend a mix of methods that suit the situation. She tests techniques in sessions and adjusts the plan based on what helps the person make steady changes.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand, and reduce travel time. It also supports practicing skills between meetings and reviewing homework together during sessions.
