About Annie
Annie Bennett is an Ohio LISW - Licensed Independent Social Worker with 25 years of clinical experience. She has worked extensively in the field of addiction, primarily supporting women, and addresses a wide range of concerns including relationship strain, grief, anxiety, stress, and family-related issues.
Bennett draws on years spent in residential addiction treatment and teaching in a graduate social work department. Much of her work has included partner and family topics and care for women who brought young children into treatment settings. That background shapes how she understands day-to-day life at home and the pressures parents and partners face.
Her approach blends cognitive behavioral methods with client-centered and humanistic influences, and she also uses acceptance and commitment and attachment-informed ideas when helpful. Sessions focus on concrete skills, clearer communication, and practical steps clients can try between meetings. She describes therapy as active work that often leads to meaningful change over time.
Sessions are 45 minutes and scheduled according to the client’s progress. Annie currently works part time and checks messages Monday through Thursday. She asks people to use the site’s matching process to book a first appointment.
Readers who want to work on addiction, coping with life transitions, intimacy issues, or caregiving stress will find a practitioner with long experience in those areas. She encourages honest conversation and gradual adjustments rather than quick fixes.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice painful thoughts and feelings and commit to actions that reflect their values. ACT can help with anxiety, stress, and making choices during life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to reduce symptoms like worry, low mood, or unhelpful coping habits. Attachment-informed work pays attention to relationship patterns and how early connections shape current responses to partners and caregivers.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Annie will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit your situation, goals, and preferences. That may mean trying skill-based CBT tools some weeks and focusing on attachment patterns or ACT exercises in others.
The original biography describes 45-minute online sessions and an online schedule, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, such as taking a session during a lunch break, avoiding travel time, or choosing a shorter commute on a busy day. It also lets the therapist and client practice communication skills that apply directly to the home setting. Ask about scheduling and any technical or format questions when you use the booking questionnaire.
