About Annie
Annie (Anne) Cummings is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with 25 years of experience. She has worked with people dealing with depression, anxiety, stress, grief and loss, substance use concerns, parenting challenges, and anger. Annie also has extensive experience supporting older adults and geriatric concerns.
She trained at Fordham University in New York City and completed clinical placements at New York Hospital-Cornell Medical Center and Bedford Hills Correctional Facility. Those early roles involved work on a dual diagnoses unit and in correctional settings, which shaped her practical approach to complex problems.
Annie takes a client-centered approach. Sessions begin with straightforward conversation about what a person is facing. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy to help people notice patterns, try new strategies, and set small goals.
Her style is direct and relaxed. People can expect clear options for coping skills, communication strategies, and steps to reduce intense reactions like anger or overwhelm. Practical exercises and simple behavioral changes are common parts of the work.
She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy techniques when they fit a person’s needs. That can include attention practices, distress-tolerance tools, and ways to balance strong emotions while keeping relationships intact.
Overall, Annie focuses on helping people manage stress, improve relationships, and handle life transitions with concrete tools and steady support.
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on values and small committed actions so anger and stress don’t control everyday choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical steps to change unhelpful patterns. That approach can be useful for managing anxiety, mood shifts, and reactions like losing temper.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what helps most. Clients and the therapist decide together which tools fit a person’s needs and preferences.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking as this profile does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule therapy around work, caregiving, or medical appointments. They can also allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and video or phone options can reduce travel time or the need to be on camera for every meeting. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and mindfulness practices to work in remote sessions so progress continues between appointments.
