Anne Petti , LCSW

Anne Petti draws on a client-centered approach to help people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, and other concerns. She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York with seven years of clinical experience. Anne aims to meet each person where they are and work toward goals that matter to them.

Her work often focuses on women's issues alongside a wide range of mental health concerns. She supports people dealing with depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy questions, grief, and coping with major life changes. She also helps with mood and personality disorders, bipolar concerns, and problems related to substance use.

Anne uses practical, evidence-informed methods in sessions. She draws from cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking patterns. She also uses dialectical behavior ideas to teach emotion regulation and mindfulness practices to cultivate calm and focus.

People who come to Anne can expect straightforward coaching and concrete skills to try between sessions. She works collaboratively to choose strategies that fit daily life and personal goals. Her approach emphasizes self-preservation, building coping tools, and steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Anne offers sessions in English and provides therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Anne uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; this approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and many daily stressors. She also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills to support emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with strong mood swings, impulsivity, and relationship patterns.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Anne works with each person to choose techniques that match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting methods as progress is made. The client-centered stance means methods are tailored rather than imposed, and she encourages trying tools in real life between sessions.

Online therapy provides flexibility for different schedules and needs. Video calls let people connect face to face from wherever they are. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or being on camera is a concern. Live chat and text-based messaging offer brief check-ins, quick coaching, or ongoing support between longer meetings. These options make it simpler to fit consistent care into a busy life while using the approaches noted above.
