About Anna

Anna Carpentieri is a New York licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with five years of professional practice helping people build clarity and practical skills for everyday challenges. She blends evidence-informed methods with a warm, conversational style, meeting clients where they are and adapting tools to fit individual needs.

Background and approach

Anna favors collaborative work that highlights clients' strengths while addressing concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Her approach draws on client-centered principles alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and narrative work.

She has experience addressing issues related to body image, communication problems, eating and food-related concerns, gender dysphoria, isolation and loneliness, sexuality, social anxiety and phobia, and women's issues. Anna values flexibility and has been using online methods for therapy, tailoring techniques like visualization, journaling, breathing exercises, and worksheets to each person’s preferences and goals.

Clients can expect a supportive, gently curious clinician who encourages self-discovery and practical change. Anna aims to help people recognize their resources, set achievable goals, and develop coping strategies that fit their daily lives.

Using CBT, Client-Centered Work, and Mindfulness Online

Anna integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and develop concrete coping strategies for issues like anxiety, depression, and social phobia. She also leans on client-centered principles, creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client's priorities guide the process and personal strengths are emphasized. Mindfulness techniques are used alongside these methods to cultivate present-moment awareness and breathing or grounding practices that can reduce stress and improve emotional regulation.

Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the therapeutic collaboration. Anna works with each person to determine which tools and styles fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting methods as progress unfolds so the work feels relevant and achievable.

Online therapy with her uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access timely support, and practice exercises between appointments in ways that match a client's daily life.
