Anjanette Morton

Anjanette Morton is a licensed mental health counselor based in New York who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, grief, depression, relationship strain, and anger. She frames therapy as a calm, nonjudgmental place to talk through what feels overwhelming. Her style is warm and straightforward, and she invites clients to set the pace and goals for their work together.

She uses practical methods drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and mindfulness. Sessions often focus on noticing patterns, testing new ways of responding, and building small skills that reduce distress. Humor and reading assignments may be used when they fit the client’s needs.

With five years of clinical experience as an LMHC, she emphasizes collaboration. Clients are treated as the experts on their lives while she offers observations and tools to try between sessions. Early meetings focus on clarifying immediate concerns and setting measurable goals.

When deeper issues emerge, she helps people trace roots of pain and develop personalized strategies to manage big emotions and repeated behaviors. The work blends short-term problem solving with attention to longer-term change.

Anjanette aims to help people regain a sense of control and breathe easier in daily life. She supports practical coping skills, clearer communication, and steps toward more satisfying routines and relationships.

How online work can use ACT, CBT, and mindfulness

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, avoidance, and anger when avoidance keeps life small. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new, realistic ways of thinking to change feelings and behavior. It often helps with depression, anxiety, and coping with stress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and increase awareness of emotions and body signals, which can be helpful for managing overwhelming feelings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then choose or combine methods that fit. Clients take an active role in deciding what to try and give feedback about what helps.

The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, avoid travel time, and use brief check-ins when schedules require. It also allows practicing skills from home, using mindfulness exercises between meetings, and working on communication or anger skills in the context of daily life.
