She has over two decades of experience in behavioral health and draws on that history to support people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, trauma, and parenting challenges. Her work blends practical strategies with steady, respectful care.

She views the person in the room as the expert on their life and brings clinical skills to help clarify patterns and find new ways to respond. Sessions move at a pace the client can handle. She aims to push clients forward without pushing them down.

Her background includes extensive work across levels of behavioral healthcare and particular experience with adoption and foster care-related issues. She has spent many years learning how early trauma affects development and uses that understanding when addressing attachment and family-of-origin matters. This informs how she supports people coping with grief, anger, and mood disorders.

Anjanette uses a range of approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), attachment-based methods, client-centered techniques, mindfulness, and psychodynamic ideas. She also applies solution-focused strategies and motivational interviewing when helpful. These tools help with skills for coping, communication, and regulating emotions.

She affirms all sexual and gender identities and welcomes people from varied faiths and backgrounds. Anjanette has experience in crisis intervention and stabilization, and she often helps people manage substance use concerns, compassion fatigue, and panic symptoms. Her style is steady, practical, and rooted in respect.

How her approaches translate to online care

Attachment-based work focuses on relationships and early bonds, helping people notice how past connections shape current patterns and reactions. It can be useful for adoption-related issues, attachment concerns, and family-of-origin themes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills for changing them. It often helps with anxiety, panic, mood disorders, and stress by offering concrete tools that can be practiced between sessions.

Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening, acceptance, and working at the client’s pace. This approach supports people who need a steady, nonjudgmental space to process emotions and find their own solutions.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Anjanette will work with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, symptoms, and preferences. She adjusts methods as needs change and checks in on what is or isn’t helpful.

Online sessions make these approaches accessible in different formats. Video calls allow face-to-face work similar to in-person sessions, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, and live chat or text-based messaging supports quick grounding, between-session updates, or people who prefer typing over speaking. These options add flexibility for scheduling and for fitting therapy into a busy life.
