Anne Petti, LCSW

Anne Petti is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New York with seven years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing a wide range of challenges including stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship and family concerns, grief, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting struggles, anger, low self-esteem, career transitions, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes.

Her practice emphasizes a person-centered approach that places the individual's goals and strengths at the center of care. Anne combines that orientation with evidence-informed techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to tailor treatment to each person's needs. She also attends to issues that frequently co-occur with these concerns, including codependency, substance use, mood and personality disorders, self-harm, and traumatic brain injury.

Anne frames therapy as a collaborative process of guidance and coaching aimed at building skills for self-preservation and practical coping. She helps clients set achievable goals and adapts interventions over time to find what works best for each individual.

Approaches That Guide Online Care

Anne Petti integrates client-centered care with targeted therapeutic techniques to support change in an online setting. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person's experience and building a collaborative relationship so clients feel heard and empowered to set their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, making it useful for anxiety, depression, and many day-to-day challenges. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes skill building in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially helpful for intense emotions and relationship difficulties.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Anne works collaboratively with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, adjusting methods over time to find the best fit. This collaborative stance helps ensure care is practical and relevant to real life.

Online therapy with Anne is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and continuity. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, family, and daily responsibilities, support care during life transitions, and maintain momentum when attending in-person sessions is difficult. Licensed professionals can use these formats to deliver many of the same structured interventions and skills-based work as traditional therapy.
