About Anne
Anne Petti is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York with seven years of practice. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, depression, relationship and family concerns, grief, intimacy issues, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain, and anger. Sessions are conducted in English and she does not take international clients.
She uses a client-centered style that prioritizes the person's goals and preferences. That means conversations focus on what the client wants to change and practical steps they can try between sessions. Anne blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) tools to help with impulsivity, mood swings, and self-harm behaviors when these are part of the picture.
Her background includes work with substance use concerns, co-occurring disorders, personality and mood disorders, and traumatic experiences. She also helps with codependency, forgiveness, emptiness, and recovery after traumatic brain injury. Her approach often combines motivational interviewing techniques to support readiness for change with solution-focused work for short-term goals.
Anne describes therapy as collaborative coaching and guidance aimed at helping people preserve their well-being. In practice she will talk through choices, teach coping skills, and set manageable steps toward clearer routines and better emotion regulation. She highlights practical strategies over abstract theory.
Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, potential clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. This process is the start of deciding which methods will fit each person's needs.
How her approaches translate to online work
Anne commonly blends Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). Client-centered work focuses on listening, clarifying what you want to change, and shaping sessions around those goals. CBT looks at thoughts and behaviors, teaching practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and address unhelpful thinking. DBT provides techniques for managing strong emotions, improving distress tolerance, and reducing impulsive reactions.Deciding which approach fits best is a collaborative process. She will review your concerns, try out techniques, and adjust the plan as progress is made. The aim is to find approaches that feel useful in day-to-day life rather than insisting on one method from the start.
Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. It can also support practicing breathing, grounding, or DBT skills between meetings and reviewing homework in real time. Licensed professionals typically adapt these methods to the online setting so tools and homework remain practical and actionable.
