  • Anger management
  • Grief and loss
  • Workplace stress

About Anniesha

Dr. Anniesha Walker is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New Jersey with 24 years of experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, anger, relationship strains, parenting challenges, and life transitions. Her practice also addresses issues such as ADHD, workplace problems, self-esteem, and compassion fatigue.

She uses practical talk therapy to help people name what is happening and choose next steps. Sessions focus on what matters to the person and on small, usable changes rather than long lectures. Her style draws on several approaches so she can match methods to a person's situation.

Dr. Walker blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns and try new behaviors. Attachment-based ideas and client-centered work guide conversations about relationship dynamics and how old patterns show up now. Motivational interviewing techniques are used when someone wants help clarifying goals and staying motivated.

Her background includes hospital, school, and community mental health settings. That mix of public and private practice informs how she supports clients through trauma, multicultural concerns, fertility and family issues, and forgiveness work. She brings experience working with loss and life changes to sessions that often cover grief and decision points.

People can expect direct conversation about what is causing tension, practical steps to reduce reactivity, and regular review of progress. The focus is on helping people handle anger and frustration in ways that fit their daily lives. To begin, readers are asked to follow the practice's online intake process and schedule a first session.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and pick actions that match their values. It can be useful when anger comes from frustration with unmet goals or changing life roles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought patterns that trigger strong reactions and testing small behavior changes to change outcomes. This approach is often helpful for workplace stress, anxiety, and repetitive anger responses.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals and preferences and will try methods that fit those aims. Progress is reviewed regularly and approaches are adjusted based on what helps in day-to-day life.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, 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, and remove travel time. The focus is on practical changes you can use between sessions, and the therapist will discuss how best to structure appointments so they fit your routine and goals.
