About Anniesha

Dr. Anniesha Walker is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New Jersey with 24 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting pressures, and anger. She also addresses issues such as ADHD, workplace stress, and life transitions.

Her sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings. She uses straightforward conversations to untangle what keeps frustrations and resentment alive. She helps people notice patterns, test small changes, and practice different responses to stressful moments.

Dr. Walker draws from a range of approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment-Based methods. That mix lets her combine thinking-oriented tools with attention to values and relationship dynamics. Motivational Interviewing and client-centered ideas guide how she supports someone ready to change.

Across hospital, school, and community settings, she has worked in both public and private sectors. That background informs practical ways to handle grief, control issues, and the everyday strain of caregiving or workplace pressures. She acknowledges cultural and faith factors when they matter to the person in front of her.

People who choose her often want clear next steps rather than abstract talk. She offers coaching-style guidance alongside clinical work for goals like managing anger, rebuilding trust, or finding direction after loss.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Dr. Walker uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters most to them and take small actions that align with those values. ACT can be useful for anger that comes from feeling stuck or at odds with personal goals.

She also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thought and behavior patterns that keep tension and irritability active. CBT offers practical experiments and skills people can practice between sessions to reduce reactivity.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She treats approach selection as a collaboration, assessing a person’s goals and preferences and adjusting methods over time. That means experiments and feedback guide whether ACT, CBT, or attachment-focused ideas fit best.

Confirm current session options before booking, since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. It can also let someone try techniques in real life shortly after a session and bring observations back for discussion.
