About Anne
Anne Petti is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New York with seven years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, anger, relationship strain, grief, and other life changes. Anne focuses on practical steps clients can use day to day rather than abstract theory.
Her style is grounded in a client-centered approach. That means sessions start with what matters to the person in front of her. Anne helps clients set clear goals and picks methods that fit those goals, whether managing impulses, reducing alcohol or drug use, or improving sleep and mood.
She draws from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to teach skills for noticing thoughts, regulating emotions, and choosing different actions. Motivational interviewing shapes conversations about change when someone feels stuck. Mindfulness work appears in short, practical exercises that calm reactivity and improve focus.
Anne has experience with co-occurring disorders, personality and mood issues, self-harm history, traumatic brain injury, and trauma and abuse. She also supports people facing parenting stress, career shifts, and intimacy or family problems. Her work includes addressing codependency and forgiveness when those topics come up.
Sessions are action-oriented and conversational. Anne emphasizes coaching and guided practice so clients can try new responses outside sessions. Prospective clients in New York should confirm current session options and scheduling details before booking.
How sessions work
How Anne’s therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy is about focusing sessions on the person’s priorities. Online sessions with this orientation begin by identifying the most pressing problems and the small steps someone wants to take. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. It is often used to manage anger, anxiety, sleep, and mood by practicing exercises and tracking progress between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. It can be helpful when impulsivity and intense reactions are a pattern.Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Anne will review a client’s goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust plans based on what works in real life.
Confirm the specific session formats available before booking so you know whether video or phone options are offered. Online appointments can make it easier to fit sessions into a workday, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Those practical benefits often help people keep consistency while they learn new skills and practice different responses to anger and stress.
