About Anne
Anne Petti is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) working in New York with seven years of experience. She sees adults dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, depression, relationship and family concerns, grief, intimacy-related issues, sleep and eating problems, and mood concerns including bipolar disorder. Anne also lists codependency, drug and alcohol addiction, emptiness, and women's issues among her focus areas.
Anne's work centers on a client-centered approach. She uses simple, practical methods to help people set goals and make changes. Sessions often include talking through current problems, identifying patterns that cause trouble, and learning skills to respond differently to stress or cravings.
She draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to spot thinking habits that worsen mood and to build alternative responses. Dialectical behavior therapy techniques are used when strong emotions and impulsivity make daily life hard. Motivational interviewing supports people who want to change substance use or other risky behaviors by clarifying values and next steps.
Anne blends mindfulness practices and solution-focused ideas to help people manage anxiety and take small, doable actions. Her approach emphasizes coaching and self-preservation strategies rather than labels or quick fixes. Clients work together with her to choose techniques that feel useful.
Sessions are aimed at practical change over time. The focus is on skills, clearer thinking, and safer choices when emotions run high. People who struggle with people-pleasing, difficulty saying no, or living around someone else's substance use may find this style straightforward and pragmatic.
How sessions work
How her approaches inform online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and helping people set clear goals. In practice this means sessions prioritize what the client wants to change and use straightforward discussion and coaching to get there.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. It helps with anxiety, depression, sleep and eating problems, and mood challenges by teaching concrete tools to change unhelpful thinking and routine behaviors.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) provides skills for managing intense emotions and impulsive actions. It is useful when mood swings, anger, or impulsivity disrupt daily life and relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to try methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean blending CBT skills, DBT techniques, motivational interviewing, or mindfulness practices over several sessions.
