About Anne
Anne Petti is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York who focuses on practical, down-to-earth support. She uses a person-centered approach to help people manage strong emotions and regain a sense of control. Anne draws on seven years of experience working with mood concerns and life stressors.
In sessions she blends straightforward skills with conversational coaching. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and change reactive patterns.
Background and approach
Dialectical Behavior Therapy adds tools for managing intense feelings and improving emotional regulation. Anne also uses mindfulness techniques to help people stay present and reduce overwhelm. Motivational Interviewing is used when someone is weighing change or facing addiction-related choices.
These methods are chosen to match each person's goals rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. She commonly addresses anxiety, stress, depression, grief, anger, and struggles with substance use or codependency. Anne helps with relationship and family-related problems, sleep and eating concerns, and challenges tied to identity, career, or life transitions.
Sessions are aimed at practical steps the person can try between meetings. Anne works collaboratively to set goals and track progress. Her style is warm and direct, with an emphasis on small changes that add up over time.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Anne often combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to address patterns that fuel strong emotional reactions. CBT focuses on identifying and changing thought and behavior patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, and anger. DBT provides concrete skills for tolerating distress, managing impulses, and improving emotion regulation.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about their goals, struggles, and preferences and then try techniques that fit their situation. Adjustments are made over time based on what helps the person feel better and manage day-to-day challenges.
Online formats offered include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for teaching skills and role-play, phone calls can be helpful when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and text messaging lets someone track progress between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to continue work even when in-person visits aren’t practical.
