About Anne

Anne Petti is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who draws on cognitive behavioral therapy alongside client-centered and mindfulness-informed strategies to help people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, mood concerns, and trauma.

Background and approach

She combines practical skill-building with collaborative problem solving to address symptoms of depression, bipolar and personality disorders, and challenges such as self-harm, impulsivity, and traumatic brain injury.

With seven years of clinical experience in New York, Anne works with issues that commonly affect emotional well-being and daily functioning, including relationship and family difficulties, grief, intimacy-related concerns, eating and sleeping problems, codependency, and substance use. Her approach blends evidence-based techniques like DBT and motivational interviewing with a focus on individual goals and strengths.

Anne emphasizes a person-centered stance, meeting each client where they are and adapting methods to what proves most effective. She frames therapy as collaborative guidance and coaching aimed at building coping skills, improving mood regulation, and supporting meaningful life changes.

How therapy approaches translate to online care



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and skill practice; it is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and many mood-related concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness skills to help manage intense emotions and impulsive behaviors. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration so that treatment goals emerge from the client's priorities and strengths.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Anne works with clients to assess needs, preferences, and goals, then adapts methods over time if something is not working. Together they prioritize which strategies to try first and adjust pacing and focus as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility: video calls allow face-to-face interaction, phone sessions provide more immediacy when needed, and live chat or text-based messaging supports ongoing check-ins and skill coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit consistent therapeutic work into a busy life while maintaining continuity of care with licensed professionals.
