Anjanette Morton, LMHC

Anjanette Morton is a compassionate, open-minded mental health professional who brings patience and empathy to work with anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, women’s issues, life transitions, and complex PTSD. She creates a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their experiences, identify patterns, and begin to make meaningful changes in daily life.

Her practice draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - a structured approach that examines the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors - along with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help clients build practical skills for coping and emotional regulation. She also incorporates bibliotherapy and appropriate use of humor as tools to complement talk therapy.

Morton approaches therapy as a collaborative process that treats each person as the expert on their own life. Together with clients she gently explores the roots of distress, challenges unhelpful patterns, and develops personalized strategies aimed at sustainable change. Licensed as an LMHC - Licensed Mental Health Counselor - she brings five years of clinical experience to her work in New York. Her goal is to spark insight and moments of joy while offering tools to manage overwhelming emotions, reduce stress, and improve overall well-being.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then clarifies personal values to guide meaningful action - it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thinking patterns and developing practical tools to change behavior, which can help with stress, anxiety, depression, and many day-to-day challenges.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes skill-building in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, making it a helpful option for intense emotions, relationship struggles, and difficulties managing impulses.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Morton works collaboratively with clients and other licensed professionals to assess needs, goals, and preferences and to tailor methods that feel like the best fit for each person.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - so work can continue around schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or geographic constraints. These options make consistent care more accessible and allow clients to use approaches like ACT, CBT, and DBT in ways that integrate with everyday life.
