About Anne

Anne Petti is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York who uses a person-centered approach as the foundation of her work. She focuses on practical steps that match each person's goals. Sessions aim to feel collaborative and straightforward so people can make steady progress toward everyday changes.

She brings seven years of experience working with issues such as stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, depression, grief, and relationship and family concerns.

Background and approach

She also addresses eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting challenges, anger, low self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Anne incorporates attention to mood and personality disorders, bipolar disorder, impulsivity, self-harm, and traumatic brain injury when those concerns are present. Anne blends several therapies to fit individual needs.

She frequently uses client-centered work alongside cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. Mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing are also part of her toolkit when those approaches fit a persons goals. In sessions she listens first, then helps people set realistic steps they can try between meetings.

The focus is on what is useful day to day rather than only on labels. Anne aims to support people as they build practical skills, find relief from overwhelming feelings, and make better choices for themselves. She offers sessions in English and practices in New York.

Her practice supports a wide range of concerns including addiction-related problems, family problems, codependency, forgiveness work, and women's issues. Anne works with each person to choose approaches that feel right for them.

How Anne's Approaches Translate to Online Care

Anne commonly uses client-centered therapy, which means sessions begin with listening to what matters most to the person and shaping support around those priorities. This approach helps clarify goals and decide practical next steps that fit daily life.

She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try concrete experiments to test new ways of thinking and behaving. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and many everyday challenges.

Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills are used when emotion regulation or impulsivity are key concerns. That work focuses on breathing and grounding techniques, distress tolerance moves, and ways to manage strong feelings in the moment.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist and client discuss goals, try approaches, and adjust based on what helps most. That collaborative process guides which methods are emphasized in sessions.

Online therapy with Anne can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit meetings into busy days, follow up between sessions, and use the methods described above in flexible ways that suit each persons routine.

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.
