Can I see a therapist who isn't physically located in New Jersey?

Yes. Annie holds an active LMFT license in New Jersey, so she can work with you by secure video as long as you are physically located in New Jersey at the time of your session. Where she sits does not matter; where you sit does.

What time zone are New Jersey sessions scheduled in?

New Jersey sessions are scheduled in Eastern Time, the same clock the practice runs on, so there is no time-zone math. The hour you book is the hour you meet, whether that is morning or evening.

Do you take New Jersey insurance?

Annie is an out-of-network provider, which means she is not paneled directly with insurance plans. If your New Jersey PPO plan includes out-of-network mental health benefits, she provides superbills through Thrizer and Mentaya so you can seek reimbursement, often with much of the paperwork handled for you.

Is online therapy as effective as meeting in person?

For the work Annie does, research consistently finds video therapy as effective as in-office sessions, with the added grace of meeting from a place you already feel safe, with no commute and no waiting room.

Do you offer faith-integrated or Catholic counseling in New Jersey?

Yes, if you want it. Faith serves as an anchor rather than a lead. The work centers on the woman in front of Annie, with her values and spiritual life honored as part of the whole picture, and set fully aside for clients who prefer that.

New Jersey Online Therapy | Annie Harton Kassell, LMFT

Annie Harton Kassell, MA, LMFT, is a licensed marriage and family therapist who sees New Jersey women virtually, by secure video. Whether your mornings start in a Newark high-rise, a quiet street in Princeton, or a town along the Jersey Shore, the work is the same. A safe space. A steady presence. A path back to the woman you were before everything else got loud.

Telehealth means you do not battle the Turnpike at rush hour, you do not find a sitter, you do not give up an entire afternoon to a single appointment. You need a quiet room, a steady connection, and the willingness to begin.

How It Works

Seeing a Therapist Who Isn't Down the Street

The right person matters more than the right zip code.

Many women assume they can only see a therapist with an office in their city. With telehealth, what matters is where you are, not where your therapist sits. Annie holds an active LMFT license in New Jersey, so she can lawfully and ethically meet with you by video while you are anywhere in the state.

It is simple in practice: you receive a private, HIPAA-compliant video link, you click it at your appointment time, and you are in — no app to puzzle over, no front desk, no time lost to traffic.

Who This Is For

For the Woman Who Lost Herself in the Roles

Wife, mother, the one who holds everything together — and somewhere underneath, you.

Annie works with married women who feel as though they have slowly disappeared into the caretaking, the calendars, and the version of life they were supposed to want. If you have caught yourself wondering who am I underneath all of this, that is precisely the work she does.

Her care is grounded in evidence-based methods — Emotionally Focused Therapy, the Gottman Method, and cognitive behavioral therapy — and for the women who want it, faith and a Catholic perspective can be woven in. Faith is an anchor, never the lead, and it is set fully aside for those who prefer that. The woman in front of her is always the center.

Where

From the Shore to the Hudson

Statewide, because the screen does not mind the distance.

Annie sees clients across all of New Jersey — Newark, Jersey City, Paterson, Princeton, Trenton, and Cherry Hill, along with the smaller towns and rural corners where a specialist down the road simply is not an option.

New Jersey runs on Eastern time, the same clock as the practice, so there is no time-zone arithmetic to do. The hour you book is the hour you meet, mornings or evenings, however your week is shaped.

Insurance Benefits

Therapy May Be More Affordable Than You Think

Check your coverage in minutes — no phone calls, no commitment.

Annie works with clients through Thrizer, a platform designed to make out-of-network therapy genuinely accessible. If you have insurance with out-of-network benefits, you may be able to apply those benefits directly to your sessions — often covering a significant portion of the cost.

Use the benefits calculator to get a real-time, no-commitment estimate of what your sessions might cost based on your specific insurance plan.
