About Annie
Annie Bennett is an Ohio Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) with 25 years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical, straightforward therapy that helps people manage difficult feelings and make real changes. Her work often touches on anger and addiction, along with stress, anxiety, grief, and relationship concerns.
She uses a mix of approaches that match each person’s needs, drawing from cognitive behavioral ideas, acceptance-based work, and client-centered care. Sessions are oriented toward clear goals and skills that can be used between meetings.
Background and approach
She keeps things direct and hopeful while recognizing change takes effort. Much of her background is in addiction services, including long-term residential programs where she supported women and parenting challenges. That time gave her deep experience with co-occurring mental health issues, trauma, and the practical strains people face during recovery and life transitions.
Annie favors meeting people where they are and building on strengths. She helps clients learn tools for managing anger, improving communication, and coping with loss or major life shifts. She describes therapy as collaborative work toward goals clients set.
Her sessions online are 45 minutes and scheduled based on progress and need. She offers a consistent, steady presence and typically responds to messages Monday through Thursday. The approach is flexible and grounded in many years of front-line practice.

Therapeutic approaches and online options that fit your life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them, and then move toward actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and anger when behavior change matters more than eliminating every unwanted thought. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete techniques to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and managing strong emotions like anger.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with you about your goals and try methods that fit your situation. Together you can adjust the approach over time if something isn’t working or your needs change.
Online sessions can be done by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving flexibility for different days and energy levels. Video is helpful for those who want face-to-face interaction, phone works well when bandwidth or camera use is difficult, and messaging suits quick check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to work therapy into a busy schedule while trying different ways of connecting.
