About Annie
Annie Bennett is a licensed independent social worker who uses practical, person-focused therapy to help people make change. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Attachment-Based approaches to guide work on relationship, stress, and addiction concerns. Annie keeps sessions straightforward and goal-minded so parents can fit care into busy lives.
She earned a master’s degree from the University of Kentucky and completed two years of conjoint marital and family therapy training.
Background and approach
Annie has more than 25 years of experience in the field of addiction, with a long history of working with women in residential treatment settings. That work included programs where women could bring children 12 and under. Her style blends practical problem-solving with a human-centered stance.
Sessions focus on current difficulties, learning new coping skills, and identifying small steps toward better functioning. She believes lasting change comes from steady effort and supportive guidance. Annie practices as an Ohio LISW - Licensed Independent Social Worker and supervisor.
She offers 45-minute sessions and typically communicates Monday through Thursday. Her schedule is managed online and she aims to respond within a few days. Therapy topics she addresses include addictions, relationships, grief, self-esteem, anxiety, depression, caregiver stress, trauma and abuse, LGBT concerns, eating and body image issues, anger, and career challenges.
She also works with blended family issues, attachment concerns, codependency, and coping with life changes.
Online approaches that fit your day-to-day life
Annie commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and then choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on current thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and anger.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through your goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Then she will suggest approaches or combine methods so the plan matches your needs and pace.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats let appointments fit around family schedules and work demands. They also let people keep steady contact between visits and practice skills in real life with therapist support.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.
Attachment-Based Therapy
Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.
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.
