Anjanette Morton , LMHC

Anjanette Morton is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in New York who brings an open-minded, compassionate approach to supporting people facing anxiety, depression, grief, women’s issues, life transitions, addiction, and complex PTSD. She integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and when appropriate incorporates bibliotherapy and gentle humor to foster insight and coping.

Her work is grounded in empathy and patience, and she treats each person as the expert on their own experience. Therapy is approached as a collaborative process - with the client in the lead and the therapist offering guidance, skills, and tailored strategies. In an initial session she focuses on understanding current challenges and identifying goals, then partners with the client to explore the roots of distress and develop personalized solutions if continuing together.

Her practice emphasizes practical tools to manage overwhelming emotions, reduce stress, navigate relationships, and handle life transitions. Through thoughtful interventions and a respectful, client-centered stance, she aims to help clients build sustainable changes, spark insight and moments of joy, and strengthen overall well-being.

Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Therapeutic Care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and modifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to build practical coping skills. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress management, and patterns that interfere with daily functioning.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing internal experiences while clarifying personal values and taking values-based action. ACT can help with avoidance, life transitions, and finding motivation to make meaningful changes.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. It is helpful for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and increasing skills for handling crises.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and the therapist will collaborate with each person to determine what fits best based on needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative exploration helps tailor sessions and techniques so they are practical and relevant.

Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging increase flexibility and accessibility for people with busy schedules, mobility limits, or those living outside the therapist's immediate region. These formats allow licensed professionals and therapists to deliver consistent care and support while making it easier to maintain therapy alongside everyday responsibilities.
