Anjanette Morton, LMHC

Anjanette Morton is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, depression, and major life changes. She works with people dealing with trauma, compassion fatigue, anger, self-esteem struggles, and relationship or communication problems. Based in New York, she brings five years of clinical experience to sessions and communicates in English.

Anjanette uses straightforward, practical methods. She often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to notice unhelpful thinking and build values-driven action. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness practices, and client-centered techniques are woven into her work when helpful.

Sessions begin with a simple conversation about what feels most urgent and what a person hopes to change. From there she and the client set realistic goals and try small steps that can fit into daily life. Bibliotherapy and light humor are used sometimes to support learning and perspective shifts.

She describes therapy as a collaborative process with the client in the lead. That means exploring patterns, testing new behaviors, and checking what makes sense for each person. The emphasis is on practical skills for coping, emotional regulation, and clearer communication.

Anjanette aims to help clients develop tools that reduce overwhelm and build greater ease in day-to-day life. She also supports people working through complex trauma, substance concerns, and the strain that comes with caregiving or aging-related stress. If a client and therapist agree to continue, they will create a tailored plan and track progress together.

How ACT, CBT, and mindfulness can work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small actions that align with those values, even when difficult thoughts or feelings show up. It can help with midlife shifts, motivation, and meaning. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors by teaching concrete skills to change unhelpful thinking and test new habits. This approach is often useful for anxiety, depression, and managing addiction triggers. Mindfulness Therapy teaches practical attention and grounding skills to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation during stressful moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Anjanette will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and daily routine. She checks in regularly and adjusts tactics so the plan matches what actually helps in real life.
