Anne Petti , LCSW

Anne Petti is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York with seven years of clinical experience supporting people through complex emotional and behavioral challenges. She works with individuals facing substance use concerns, co-occurring disorders, anxiety, depression, stress, codependency, bipolar and personality disorders, trauma and abuse, and a wide range of life adjustments including grief, relationship and family issues, parenting struggles, eating and sleeping problems, and career-related difficulties. Anne also addresses challenges related to intimacy, impulsivity, self-harm, traumatic brain injury, and women's issues, bringing focused care to needs such as addiction, emptiness, forgiveness, and mood disorders.

Her practice emphasizes a person-centered philosophy that places the client's goals and needs at the center of treatment. Anne combines that approach with evidence-based tools including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), trauma-focused CBT (TF-CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), motivational interviewing (MI), and solution-focused techniques to tailor interventions to each individual. She views therapy as a collaborative process that blends guidance, coaching, and skill-building to support self-preservation and lasting change. Anne aims to help clients identify practical strategies and insights that align with their values and daily life, fostering steady progress toward greater well-being.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Client-centered therapy focuses on meeting the person where they are, listening closely to their goals, and shaping treatment around individual values and needs. This approach is helpful for people seeking a supportive, collaborative space to explore personal challenges and identify what matters most to them.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical strategies to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and behavioral patterns related to addiction or mood regulation.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) combines skills training in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness to help people manage intense emotions, reduce impulsivity, and improve relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together, they refine the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexible options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so clients can access care in ways that suit their schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, integrate skill practice into daily life, and engage with licensed professionals from convenient locations.
