She holds a Licensed Professional Counselor credential and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor credential and practices from Missouri. Her work grew from a belief in people’s ability to recover and change. She focuses on practical steps that help people feel steadier and more capable.

Anjanette draws on experience with trauma and early attachment to shape her approach. She pays attention to how past experiences affect present feelings and relationships. Sessions aim to help people make sense of difficult patterns and try different responses in day-to-day life.

She treats a broad range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, parenting strain, grief, addiction, and ADHD. Additional focuses include adoption and foster care issues, attachment concerns, blended family challenges, caregiver stress, and first responder issues. She affirms all sexual and gender identities and works with issues common to LGBT clients.

Her style is collaborative and paced to each person. She views therapy as a partnership where the client is the expert on their life. She balances listening with offering ideas and exercises that clients can try between sessions.

Anjanette uses several therapy approaches to fit the person and the problem. Over two decades she has worked in many levels of care and has experience in crisis intervention and stabilization. She aims to offer respectful, nonjudgmental support that helps people move forward.

How her approaches translate to online care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current bonds and emotional responses. Online sessions using this approach help people notice patterns in their close relationships and practice new ways of connecting and regulating emotions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. In remote sessions it often involves identifying unhelpful thoughts, trying short exercises during or between meetings, and tracking small behavior changes to reduce anxiety or depression.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk through your goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made over time based on what helps most.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter, focused check-in is needed. Live chat or text messaging can be useful for brief updates, quick coping ideas, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue work when in-person visits are difficult.
