Anne Petti, LCSW

Anne Petti is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York who uses a person-centered approach. She focuses on helping people set clear goals and meet them in ways that make sense for their life. Her style is straightforward and practical, aimed at steady progress rather than quick fixes.

She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and problems with substance use. She also helps people dealing with trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strain, sleep and eating concerns, and challenges after a traumatic brain injury. Anne pays attention to how symptoms affect daily routines and relationships.

Anne blends several therapy methods to match each person's needs. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thinking patterns and DBT skills to help with emotional regulation and impulsivity. Motivational interviewing supports people who want change but feel stuck, and mindfulness helps with grounding and stress reduction.

With seven years of experience, she aims to coach and guide people toward better self-care and clearer choices. Sessions focus on practical steps, coping tools, and small changes that add up over time. Anne encourages people to set the pace and choose goals that matter to them.

How therapeutic methods translate to online work

Anne commonly uses client-centered care, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) in sessions. Client-centered work focuses on listening, building goals together, and shaping sessions around what the person says matters most. CBT looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical steps to change them. DBT provides concrete skills for managing intense emotions, reducing impulsive reactions, and improving interpersonal effectiveness.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the person to try methods that fit their goals and preferences. If something doesn't feel helpful, adjustments are made so the work stays useful and relevant.

Practical benefits of doing therapy online include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy day. Online work can make it simpler to follow through on weekly meetings, reduce travel time, and allow for brief check-ins when needed. Because session formats are not specified in the biography, confirm current session options before booking to find what best fits your routine and comfort.
