About Anne
Anne Petti is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York who centers sessions on the person in front of her. She draws on practical talk, clear goals, and steady support to help people cope with stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, and parenting challenges.
She has seven years of experience working with people facing a range of concerns including trauma and abuse, relationship strain, grief, and issues with sleep and eating.
Background and approach
Anne also addresses mood and personality concerns, impulsivity, and substance use. Her background includes work with co-occurring disorders and addictive behaviors. Anne uses a client-centered stance that starts with understanding each person's priorities.
She mixes that with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are also part of her toolbox for managing intense emotions and improving coping. Sessions move at a practical pace.
She uses brief problem-solving, motivational interviewing to build readiness for change, and mindfulness techniques to strengthen attention and calm. Conversations focus on concrete steps you can try between meetings. People often come for help with parenting stress, codependency, forgiveness, and making daily life more manageable after loss or major change.
Anne supports clients in naming goals, testing small changes, and adjusting plans so progress stays realistic and steady.

How practical therapies translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding your priorities and shaping sessions around them. It helps when you need a therapist who listens first and then adapts techniques to fit your life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches simple exercises to change them; it can help with anxiety, depression, sleep, and parenting-related stress.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will review your concerns, goals, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together you will try methods and adjust plans so the work fits your routines and needs.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let you maintain face-to-face conversation when that helps deep work or skill practice. Phone sessions can be easier when a lower bandwidth option or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it simple to get brief support, homework prompts, or check-ins between sessions. These options provide flexibility for people balancing work, parenting, and other commitments.
