Anjanette Morton, LMHC

Anjanette Morton is a licensed mental health counselor based in New York. She helps people who are struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, trauma, and overwhelming stress. Her style is calm and open, and she aims to make sessions simple and approachable for worried parents and others seeking help.

She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) along with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools to look at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Sessions often include practical exercises, mindfulness practices, and conversational work to spot patterns that keep problems going.

Anjanette treats addiction and trauma with attention to both immediate coping skills and longer-term change. She also supports people dealing with relationship strain, low self-esteem, anger, and major life transitions. Caregiver stress, aging concerns, and family of origin issues are part of her focus areas.

Her approach centers on collaboration. Clients guide the work and the therapist offers ideas, feedback, and exercises. Humor and reading suggestions are used when helpful to reinforce learning between sessions.

New clients can expect an initial meeting to map current struggles and set clear goals. From there, sessions aim to build tools for managing strong emotions and making steady progress toward daily functioning and renewed hope.

How CBT and ACT Fit into Online Therapy

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments. It helps with anxiety, depression, and managing strong emotions by teaching clear coping skills and behavior changes.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, encourages people to notice difficult feelings without getting stuck and to act in line with personal values. It is useful for chronic stress, grief, and situations where avoidance maintains problems.

Client-centered work puts the person’s goals first and values empathy and nonjudgmental listening. This approach supports people who need a steady, understanding presence while they sort through painful experiences.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and try methods together to see what fits best. Work often blends approaches so sessions match what each person needs and prefers.

Online therapy offers flexible options like video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text messaging. Video is good for a face-to-face feel and interactive exercises. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or when someone needs a shorter check-in. Live chat or text messaging work well for quick skill practice, brief reflections, or when writing helps process thoughts. These formats make it possible to fit therapy into busy lives and keep momentum between meetings.
