Anne Petti is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who focuses on helping people manage anxiety and stress. She emphasizes a person-centered approach that respects each person's goals. Her style is practical and grounded, aimed at making small changes that add up.

Background and approach
Sessions tend to focus on what a client wants to change and what steps feel doable. Anne draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. She also uses dialectical behavior skills to teach emotion regulation and mindfulness tools to reduce reactivity.
Motivational interviewing helps when someone is unsure about making a change. In meetings she listens without judgment and works collaboratively to set clear short-term goals. She mixes coaching-style guidance with practical skill building so clients can practice between sessions.
Progress is measured by what the client notices getting easier in daily life. Anne offers sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Her approach is flexible to fit different schedules and communication preferences.
People who want straightforward strategies and steady support often find this style useful.
Approaches that fit your life, delivered online
Anne commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) in online sessions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and shaping each session around the person's own goals, which helps when someone needs a respectful space to sort priorities. CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors to reduce anxiety and low mood. DBT offers concrete skills for managing emotions, reducing impulsive actions, and improving day-to-day coping.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasnt helped before. That collaborative planning means techniques can be blended and adjusted over time to match progress and changing needs.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skill demonstrations. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat or text can work for brief check-ins or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit regular sessions into a busy schedule while still working on anxiety, stress, or other concerns.
