Anna Carpentieri, LCSW

Anna Carpentieri is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in New York with five years of experience helping people from diverse backgrounds and age groups find greater insight and fulfillment in their lives. She has used online platforms for therapy for over four years and appreciates the flexibility of virtual connection as well as the range of resources that remote work can provide. Anna brings a warm, somewhat casual style to sessions and approaches each person with genuine curiosity and care, encouraging clients to share who they are and where they want to go.

She works with depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, and loss, and also addresses related concerns such as body image, eating and food-related issues, gender dysphoria, communication problems, and loneliness. As a client-centered therapist she helps clients recognize their strengths and collaborates to overcome challenges. She incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness practices, and narrative techniques, adapting tools like visualization, journaling, breathing exercises, and worksheets to fit each person’s needs.

Because she tailors her approach to individual preferences and goals, Anna uses the variety afforded by online work to create flexible, practical pathways toward meaningful change. She welcomes the chance to learn more about each client and offer supportive guidance along their journey.

Approaches and Online Care with Anna Carpentieri

Anna Carpentieri draws from client-centered therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to support clients in online sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person’s perspective and building on their strengths to help them move toward personal goals - it is useful for a wide range of life changes and relationship concerns. CBT is a practical, skills-based approach that helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and replace them with more balanced thoughts and behaviors - it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. DBT emphasizes skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness - it can be especially helpful for intense emotions and relationship challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Anna works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods and tools best fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical advantages for clients seeking flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and support can be continued through live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule care around work, childcare, or travel, and allow clients to access licensed professionals and therapists from the places where they live and work.
