About Anne

Anne Petti is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people manage strong emotions and life stressors. She works with adults on concerns such as anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, and anger. Anne is based in New York and brings seven years of clinical experience to her work.

Her approach centers on the person in front of her. Sessions focus on what the client wants to change, and she adapts techniques to fit those goals. She uses common therapies like cognitive behavioral strategies and skills from dialectical behavior therapy to address unhelpful thinking and intense emotions.

Anne also incorporates mindfulness and motivational interviewing when those methods suit a person's goals. That can mean learning tools to stay calmer in the moment, changing behavior patterns, or finding reasons to stay engaged in recovery. She often blends approaches to match each person’s needs rather than following a single model.

In practical terms, sessions are conversational and goal-focused. Clients can expect clear, actionable steps between meetings and coaching toward healthier habits and coping skills. Anne emphasizes self-preservation and steady progress over time.

How therapy approaches translate to online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's priorities. The therapist follows the client's lead, helps clarify goals, and supports decisions that feel right to the individual. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and teaches skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust as needed. That collaborative process helps determine whether CBT, client-centered techniques, or other tools are most useful for the person's current needs.

The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm available options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. They reduce travel time, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and can help people keep appointments during work breaks or between errands. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and skills practice to remote sessions so progress continues even when meeting remotely.
