About Annemarie
Annemarie Cristino is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing relationship and intimacy concerns, low self-esteem, work stress, depression, anxiety, and grief. She focuses on practical tools that make daily life easier. She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space so clients can talk openly about what’s most pressing.
Her approach centers on changing negative thinking patterns and building small, steady skills. Sessions emphasize concrete steps clients can use between meetings.
Background and approach
Annemarie encourages gradual progress and celebrates small wins along the way. With 28 years of counseling experience, Annemarie brings steady, experienced support to conversations about parenting, family stress, trauma and abuse, and compassion fatigue. She has also worked with concerns related to sleeping, career challenges, infidelity, and jealousy.
Her background includes hospice and end-of-life counseling and helping people cope with heavy losses. Annmarie uses evidence-based techniques to teach coping strategies and shift unhelpful thinking. She supports clients through practical exercises and clear explanations rather than abstract theory.
The goal is to give people tools they can use right away. She is licensed in New York as an LCSW, and she accepts clients from various locations, including international clients. Prospective clients can expect straightforward guidance and a steady presence while they work toward change.
Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care
Annmarie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing unhelpful thoughts and building practical coping skills. One approach helps people identify and shift negative thinking patterns into more balanced perspectives, which can reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety and boost confidence. Another approach emphasizes skill-building for stress management and emotional regulation, giving clear exercises clients can practice between sessions to handle strong feelings and daily pressures.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with clients to choose techniques that match their needs, goals, and preferences. This process is flexible and adjusts as clients try methods and notice what helps most.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase access and convenience. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and follow up with brief check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can use these tools to keep momentum between in-person meetings and to support steady progress.
