About Annemarie
Annemarie Halbert is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in New Jersey with 21 years of clinical experience. She offers practical, down-to-earth help for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, and ADHD. Her work focuses on small, realistic steps that make daily life easier for clients.
She starts by meeting each person where they are and listening to what matters most. From there she and the client set clear, achievable goals.
Background and approach
Sessions emphasize skills you can use between meetings to manage mood, reduce worry, and handle big life changes. Her approach blends client-centered care with cognitive behavioral and psychodynamic ideas. That means she pays attention to current problems and patterns from the past that still affect daily life.
Together clients learn new ways of thinking and acting while understanding core feelings that drive behavior. Annemarie also uses mindfulness and motivational interviewing techniques when helpful. Mindfulness practices support emotional regulation and focus.
Motivational interviewing helps people find personal reasons to change behaviors like substance use or unhealthy routines. She has worked across many concerns, including relationship and communication problems, caregiver stress, impulse control, mood disorders, panic, and issues common to veterans and first responders. The emphasis is practical work that fits into a client's real life.
People typically leave sessions with concrete strategies and short-term goals. Her style is collaborative and steady, aimed at helping clients build momentum toward better days.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, validation, and working at the client’s pace. Online sessions use that same stance to build a trusting relationship and shape goals that feel doable. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to interrupt unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and impulsivity.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to choose methods that match needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative planning can include trying techniques from CBT, mindfulness, or psychodynamic work and adjusting based on what helps most over time.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people talk face-to-face and practice techniques with real-time feedback. Phone sessions are an option when video isn’t convenient and can be easier to fit into a busy day. Live chat or text-based messaging can support brief check-ins, homework prompts, and ongoing encouragement between longer sessions. These options help therapy fit into everyday life while maintaining steady progress.
