Anna Carpentieri, LCSW - Therapist in New York

About Anna

Anna Carpentieri is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in New York. She has five years of professional experience and uses a friendly, down-to-earth style in sessions. Anna prefers meeting people where they are and learning what matters most to them.

Her work has included supporting concerns around stress, anxiety, depression, and self-esteem. Anna often pairs a person-centered approach with practical tools. She draws from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy when helpful.

Background and approach

She also uses mindfulness and motivational interviewing techniques to help people notice patterns and try small changes. Sessions tend to be warm and informal. She invites clients to set the pace and focuses on clear, doable strategies like breathing, journaling, visualization, and worksheets.

These tools are chosen to fit the person’s daily life and goals. Anna has worked with people facing life transitions, communication problems, body image and eating concerns, gender-related questions, and social anxiety. She also addresses sexuality, isolation, and women's issues as part of broader conversations about wellbeing.

She has used online formats for several years and values the flexibility those options provide. Parents looking for family and parenting resources may find practical ideas and support in her sessions. To begin, she offers a simple matching and scheduling process to connect with interested clients.

How her approaches fit into online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and supporting the person's own goals. The therapist follows the client's lead, asks questions, and helps people notice their strengths and values. This approach is useful for parents who need space to talk through concerns and decide what matters most.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It uses simple exercises and worksheets to try small changes. CBT can help with anxiety, low mood, and managing stressful routines at home.

Dialectical behavior therapy, DBT, offers skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication. It includes techniques like distress tolerance and emotion regulation that parents can use during heated moments or transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each client about needs, goals, and preferences and then try methods that fit. That collaborative process makes it easier to adjust tools as life changes.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging allows for flexible scheduling and multiple ways to connect. These formats can make it easier to keep momentum between sessions and to practice tools in real time. Many people find that the variety of options helps therapy fit into busy family life.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
