About Annemarie
Annemarie Halbert is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in New Jersey with 21 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing depression, anxiety, stress, addiction, grief, and related concerns. She focuses on helping clients set realistic goals and improve daily functioning.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with psychodynamic ideas to understand patterns that affect thoughts, feelings, and behavior. Sessions center on noticing unhelpful thinking and practicing different responses. Practical skills and short-term strategies are emphasized when they fit the client's goals.
Her work is straightforward: identify goals, try tools, and track what changes. She draws from client-centered principles to keep sessions focused on the person's priorities. Motivational Interviewing is used when people need help clarifying reasons to change and building small steps forward.
Annemarie has experience across many problem areas including mood disorders, panic and trauma-related issues, parenting and caregiver stress, relationship and communication problems, and substance use concerns. She also supports people dealing with guilt, shame, impulsivity, and first responder or veteran-related stress.
People who prefer a structured, skills-based approach may find this practical style helpful. Before a first session she asks clients to identify a few immediate goals so time can be spent on hands-on strategies. The emphasis is on work clients can try between sessions and review at the next meeting.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
CBT is a practical method that focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going, and then testing new ways of thinking and acting. It helps with anxiety, depression, panic, and recurring patterns that interfere with daily life. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the client's priorities and uses listening and reflection to shape goals and next steps. This approach helps when someone needs space to clarify values and immediate concerns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches awareness skills to notice stress reactions and to respond more deliberately, which can reduce reactivity and aid emotion regulation.Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, try methods that fit those needs, and adjust over time. Clients and the therapist work together to see which tools feel most useful and to set short-term goals that can be reviewed in later sessions.
Confirm current session formats before booking. Practical benefits of online work include fitting appointments into a busy day, reducing commute time, and making it easier to schedule shorter check-ins when needed. Some formats require less bandwidth or camera use, which can be useful for brief sessions or when a quieter environment is easier to find. Ask about available session options when you complete the matching questionnaire so the format matches your routine and goals.
