About Anne
Anne Petti is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New York with seven years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship and family concerns, grief, intimacy issues, eating and sleeping problems, parenting stress, anger, self-esteem, career questions, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes. She uses a person-centered approach and other practical therapies to help people reach their goals.
Anne emphasizes a client-centered style. She talks with people about what matters most and shapes sessions around their goals. She combines that with hands-on methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques and skills from dialectical behavior therapy when useful.
Her work includes motivational interviewing to support change around substance use and other behaviors. Mindfulness practices are introduced to help with stress, mood regulation, and attention. She also draws on solution-focused ideas to set short-term, achievable objectives.
Anne has experience addressing co-occurring disorders and a range of mood and personality concerns. She helps people who struggle with codependency, impulsivity, self-harm tendencies, traumatic brain injury effects, and issues tied to women’s health. She includes practical coaching and guidance as part of sessions.
Sessions focus on clear goals and skills people can use between meetings. She encourages tracking progress and adjusting the plan as needed. To begin, clients complete a brief intake and choose initial goals for work together.

Therapy approaches and using online sessions
Client-centered therapy puts the person's goals first and keeps sessions focused on what they want to change. This approach is about listening and shaping the work around each person's needs. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and teaches practical tools to change patterns that cause distress. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) adds skills for managing intense emotions, coping with strong urges, and improving relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to identify which methods fit best for their goals and preferences. Plans are adjusted over time based on how the client responds and what helps most.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking. The main practical benefit of online sessions is flexibility - they can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or travel. Online meetings can be shorter check-ins when time is limited, or longer focused sessions when more time is available. They also let people use strategies learned in therapy in their everyday settings and then discuss how those strategies worked at the next appointment.
