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 struggle with stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, depression, relationship difficulties, anger, self-esteem issues, bipolar mood concerns, and coping with life changes. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients.

Anjanette uses straightforward, evidence-based tools in session. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), client-centered methods, and mindfulness practices. Conversations aim to name unhelpful thought patterns, try small behavior changes, and build skills to manage intense feelings like anger or anxiety.

Her style is collaborative. She treats the person in front of her as the expert on their life and offers concrete exercises and reflections. Early sessions focus on what matters most now and practical steps that can be tried between meetings.

Anjanette sometimes uses reading assignments and a light touch of humor to make difficult topics easier to approach. She talks with people about roots of distress and current patterns that keep problems going. The work includes noticing triggers, learning calming and grounding techniques, and practicing alternative responses to frustration.

People who come for help with anger often leave with clearer ways to interrupt reactive moments and to communicate needs without escalating. She emphasizes steady practice and small, sustainable changes rather than quick fixes.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and committing to actions that reflect personal values. It can help when anger gets in the way of meaningful relationships or daily goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to change patterns that feed anger and anxiety. Mindfulness Therapy teaches focused attention and grounding practices so intense feelings are easier to observe and respond to without reacting.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to current struggles and goals, then suggest methods to try together. Sessions may mix strategies from ACT, CBT, DBT, and mindfulness while adapting as progress and preferences become clearer.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules demand them. For people who travel or live abroad, remote appointments can help maintain continuity of care. The focus is on finding practical ways to practice skills between meetings and to integrate strategies into everyday life.
