Anna Carpentieri , LCSW

Anna Carpentieri is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in New York. She brings five years of professional experience and a warm, approachable manner to sessions. Anna prefers a person-centered style and likes to hear where clients want to go in life. She has been using online therapy for several years and values the flexibility it offers.

Anna focuses on everyday struggles such as stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. She also addresses concerns around body image, eating and food-related issues, gender dysphoria, sexuality, and social anxiety. Women's issues are a named area of focus in her work.

Her style is conversational and relaxed, with an emphasis on listening first and following the client's lead. She uses practical tools like visualization, journaling prompts, breathing exercises, and worksheets when they fit a client's needs. Sessions aim to build on strengths and create small, manageable steps forward.

Anna draws on several therapeutic approaches to shape sessions, including client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior ideas, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing. She tailors methods to each person's goals rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.

People who prefer a collaborative, down-to-earth therapist may find her a good match. She offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit different schedules and communication preferences.

How Anna Uses Talk and Tools Online

Anna often combines client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral ideas and mindfulness practices to help people manage symptoms and build skills. Client-centered therapy involves open, nonjudgmental listening and helping people identify their own goals and strengths. Cognitive behavioral techniques focus on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing new behaviors to reduce anxiety or depression. Mindfulness work teaches simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce stress and increase awareness.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Anna works together with each person to test methods, notice what helps, and adjust the plan as needs and goals change. She encourages small experiments and practical steps so progress feels manageable.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Video lets people use visual cues and more in-depth conversation, while phone calls can work when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are useful for short check-ins, journaling-style work, and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and try different ways of communicating until the best fit is found.
