About Annemarie
Annemarie Colosimo is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) with 20 years of clinical experience. She focuses on building a working relationship with each person and collaborates to shape a plan that addresses their goals. Annemarie emphasizes practical steps, using a person-centered approach that draws on the client’s strengths and motivation.
She draws from solution-focused work and cognitive behavioral strategies to help people manage stress and anxiety. Motivational interviewing guides conversations about change when someone feels stuck.
Background and approach
Her background also includes hospice and end-of-life counseling and a long history supporting grief and bereavement. Annemarie earned a Master of Science in Social Administration after completing a Bachelor of Social Work. She holds an independent social work license in Ohio and has a supervisory designation.
Those roles reflect two decades of practice across settings and populations. Her experience includes work with individuals and groups across the lifespan, with much of her caseload focused on grief, loss, and adjustment. She also helps people struggling with compassion fatigue, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, and life transitions.
In sessions she aims to listen carefully, reflect what matters, and offer clear, doable steps between meetings. She encourages people to take small actions that build momentum toward their goals. Reaching out is a hard first move, but she views progress as a series of manageable steps.
Approaches that shape online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking meaningful action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It can help people who are stuck by grounding choices in what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers concrete techniques to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is useful for managing anxiety and stress when practical tools are needed.Finding the right approach is part of the work she does with each person. The therapist will discuss goals and try methods that fit the client’s preferences and needs. That collaborative process makes it easier to adjust strategies over time if something isn’t a good fit.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions enable face-to-face conversation when that matters. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for brief check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter, flexible contact between sessions or for people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep continuity when schedules change.
