About Annie
Annie (Anne) Cummings is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with 25 years of experience. She has worked with people facing depression, anxiety, stress, grief, substance use, parenting challenges, and aging-related concerns. Annie also lists codependency among her focus areas and often sees issues connected to relationships and caregiving.
She trained at Fordham University in New York City and earned a Master of Social Work. Early clinical roles included work on a dual-diagnoses unit at New York Hospital-Cornell Medical Center and time at Bedford Hills Correctional Facility in New York. Those settings shaped her experience with complex needs and co-occurring conditions.
In sessions she uses a client-centered stance. That means conversations are guided by what the person brings to the room, not a preset script. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness, and solution-focused ideas to help people try different ways of coping.
Practical skills and clear goals are part of her approach. That can look like learning tools to manage stress, practicing ways to set limits, or trying new responses when old patterns feel automatic. She has particular experience supporting older adults and people managing long-term health or caregiving stress.
People who prefer steady, straightforward conversation about real-life problems often find her style fits. To begin, clients follow the site steps to match and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How Annie uses ACT, CBT and client-centered work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without letting them drive every choice. It focuses on what matters to a person and small actions that align with those values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches concrete skills to change them. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person's experience and priorities, giving space for them to lead what matters most.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Annie treats approach choice as collaborative - she will talk with the person about goals, try methods that fit, and adjust based on what helps in session. That keeps the focus on practical progress rather than labels.
Confirm the exact session formats offered before booking. Online options can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time, allowing sessions during a lunch break, or offering a shorter check-in when needed. These practical benefits help people keep continuity with therapy while managing day-to-day responsibilities.
