About Anjanette

Anjanette Morton is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in New York with five years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, relationship concerns, anger, self-esteem, bipolar conditions, and coping with life changes. She also focuses on compassion fatigue and related concerns that often come with caregiving or high-stress roles.

Anjanette blends practical skills with conversational therapy. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). Sessions often include mindfulness practices and reading suggestions when helpful. She prefers working together with clients to clarify goals and try techniques that fit everyday life.

In early meetings she asks about current problems, recent stressors, and what the client hopes to change. Sessions move at a steady pace with concrete steps to manage strong emotions, reduce unhelpful thinking patterns, and build coping behaviors. She may suggest brief exercises or readings between sessions to reinforce progress.

Anjanette aims to help people untangle difficult feelings and regain practical control over daily routines. She is comfortable addressing addiction, trauma symptoms, relationship struggles, grief, and burnout from caregiving. Her approach combines skills training with acceptance-based strategies so clients can respond differently to recurring problems.

People who want straightforward, skills-focused work and occasional mindfulness practice may find this style useful. She works with English-speaking adults and accepts international clients. For new clients she asks them to complete a short questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment to start planning next steps.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that reflect personal values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with difficult life shifts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns with practical exercises and homework to change how problems play out day to day. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches specific skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication when feelings run high.

Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the early work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences, adjusting tools and pacing as they learn what helps most.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can fit into busy schedules by making appointments easier to reach from different locations, allowing brief check-ins, or supporting longer skill-building sessions without travel time. Many people find it straightforward to practice CBT exercises or DBT skills between sessions when therapy is delivered remotely, and ACT exercises can be integrated into daily routines during the weeks you work together.
