    About Anne

    Anne Petti is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York who focuses on helping people find practical ways to feel better. She uses a person-centered style that starts with listening to what matters most to each person. Sessions are aimed at clear goals, small steps, and steady progress.

    With seven years of experience, Anne supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and grief. She also works with concerns around addiction, codependency, mood and personality disorders, and trauma. Her practice addresses relationship strain, parenting challenges, sleep and eating problems, anger, and issues with self-esteem.

    Anne draws on several approaches in sessions. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and build new habits. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills help with emotion regulation and impulsivity. Motivational Interviewing is part of her work when people want to change habits like substance use or to increase motivation.

    Her style is straightforward and collaborative. She helps people set realistic goals, try new strategies, and adjust the plan as needed. Sessions often mix skill practice, problem solving, and reflective conversation.

    People meet with her to manage life changes, cope with trauma, or work through patterns that feel stuck. She asks questions, offers tools, and supports each person’s choice about the next step.

  2. How therapeutic approaches shape online care

    Anne uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change and to build momentum one step at a time. This approach is useful for issues like substance use, avoidance, or when motivation feels low. Client-Centered Therapy is a core part of her work and focuses on listening, respect, and following each person’s priorities to shape goals and pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood.

    Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Anne will talk with each person about their goals, try methods that fit, and adjust the plan based on what helps. The process is collaborative - decisions about techniques and homework are made with the client, not for them.

    If you’re considering online therapy, confirm the current session formats before booking so you know what options are available. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it simpler to use skills between sessions and to bring real-life problems into conversation. Licensed professionals, including therapists, can tailor these approaches to address stress, addiction concerns, mood issues, or relationship strain while helping clients set clear, achievable steps.
