About Annemarie
Annemarie Halbert is a Licensed Professional Counselor who brings 21 years of clinical experience to her work in New Jersey. She focuses on practical steps people can use to feel better day to day. She listens first and helps set realistic goals that fit each person's life and schedule.
Her main concerns include anxiety, depression, mood disorders, bipolar disorder, panic attacks, and stress. She also supports people facing grief, addiction, trauma and abuse, and caregiver or compassion fatigue.
Background and approach
Relationship and communication struggles, parenting strain, ADHD, and self-esteem issues are part of her regular work. She draws on client-centered methods so sessions center on each person’s priorities. Cognitive behavioral techniques are used to find and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.
Elements of psychodynamic therapy help when past experiences affect present choices. Annemarie adapts tools to match what people need right now. That may mean simple coping skills for panic, or deeper exploration of recurring relationship patterns.
She emphasizes short-term, achievable steps alongside longer-term insight work. Sessions can focus on practical problem solving, managing strong emotions like anger or guilt, or planning next steps after a major life change. People often leave sessions with one clear action to try before the next meeting.
This approach aims to make therapy useful and manageable alongside everyday life.
Practical approaches adapted for online therapy
Annemarie uses client-centered therapy to make sessions focus on each person’s immediate priorities. That approach means the conversation is shaped around what matters to the client and what they want to change. Cognitive behavioral therapy is used to spot unhelpful thoughts and to practice small behavior changes that reduce symptoms like panic, low mood, or anxiety.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and the issues they bring, and then recommend ways to proceed. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made over time as progress and needs become clearer.
Online work is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls allow conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging is useful for short check-ins or ongoing support between meetings. These options help people fit therapy into busy days, handle brief crises or quick coaching moments, and maintain contact when schedules change.
