About Annemarie

Annemarie Halbert is a Licensed Professional Counselor who centers therapy on the client’s needs. She draws on her 21 years of practice to help people manage symptoms and find clearer ways to move forward. Her work emphasizes practical steps and steady support so clients can make changes that fit their daily lives.

She starts by listening closely to what a person brings to therapy. From there she helps set realistic, achievable goals.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on skills people can use between meetings, not just ideas discussed in the room. Annemarie blends psychodynamic ideas with cognitive behavioral therapy, using both to understand patterns and to teach new ways of coping. Mindfulness and motivational techniques appear when they match a client’s goals.

This mix is used to address issues such as anxiety, depression, stress, grief, addictions, and parenting challenges. Her background includes many years working in New Jersey as an LPC. That experience informs a steady, approachable style.

She aims to make therapy understandable and useful from the first sessions. Therapy with Annemarie often covers relationship and family concerns, mood problems like bipolar disorder, attention concerns such as ADHD, and life transitions. The emphasis is on clear tools and ongoing collaboration so progress can continue after each session.

How Annemarie’s Approaches Work Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person and their experience. The therapist listens without judgment and helps clients identify what matters to them and which goals feel realistic. This approach works well for people who want a steady, supportive space to talk through personal challenges.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact. The work includes practical exercises and simple tools to try between sessions, which can help with anxiety, depression, panic, and impulse-related problems. Mindfulness Therapy adds attention practices to help reduce reactivity and improve focus during stressful moments.

Choosing the right direction is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss different approaches and tailor the plan to a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. Clients and therapist review progress and adjust methods as needed so the work stays useful and relevant.

Online therapy makes these methods flexible to fit busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions offer a simpler, accessible option. Live chat and text-based messaging provide shorter check-ins or support between meetings. This range of formats helps people engage in therapy in the ways that work best for them.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
