Annie Bennett , LISW

Annie Bennett is an Ohio licensed independent social worker (LISW) with 25 years of practice. She focuses on practical, down-to-earth care for people facing addiction, anxiety, grief, and life transitions. Annie often helps with relationship and intimacy concerns as well as self-esteem and body image issues.

She spent much of her career working in addiction treatment, largely with women, and has extensive experience in programs that included parenting supports. That work brought long-term residential treatment experience and hands-on practice with mental health and family stressors.

Annie blends cognitive behavioral techniques with client-centered and acceptance-based ideas. Sessions tend to be collaborative and goal-oriented. She looks for small, doable changes that add up over time and helps people adjust behaviors and thinking to match their values.

Her approach also draws on attachment-informed ideas and skills from dialectical behavior therapy when emotions run high. She emphasizes meeting people where they are and building on strengths to handle anger, trauma, grief, or substance concerns. Annie believes meaningful change takes effort and steady support.

She offers 45-minute online sessions and checks messages most weekdays. Scheduling follows a short matching questionnaire and the platform's booking tools. Annie chose this work after making major life changes herself, and she brings that perspective to the work of helping others adjust their course.

Approach-driven care delivered online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people name what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when feelings are hard. ACT is useful for anxiety, depression, and motivation struggles because it focuses on actions tied to what you care about. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and trust. This approach can help with intimacy issues, relationship patterns, abandonment concerns, and how people react under stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Annie will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. She often combines acceptance ideas, cognitive behavioral techniques, and attachment perspectives to fit the situation rather than using a single method alone.

Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to allow flexibility. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and skill practice. Phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a quick check-in fits a break at work. Live chat and text messaging suit brief check-ins, coaching-style notes, or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue work between sessions.
