About Annie
Annie Bennett is an Ohio licensed independent social worker (LISW) with 25 years of practice. She focuses on helping people facing addiction, relationship struggles, grief, anxiety, and low self-esteem. Her tone is straightforward and practical, aimed at people who want real change without judgment.
Bennett draws on approaches like cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance and commitment ideas, and client-centered listening. Sessions emphasize clear steps, coping skills, and values-based choices. She often helps people notice patterns that keep them stuck and then try small changes that make everyday life easier.
Much of her background is in addiction work, with many years supporting women in long-term residential programs. That experience includes attending to mental health, parenting stress, and partner issues. She also has taught in social work and completed conjoint marital and family therapy training early in her career.
Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. She meets people where they are and works with them to set practical goals. She describes change as hard but attainable, and she shares the belief that people do not have to face problems alone.
Appointments are organized around 45-minute sessions. Scheduling and response times are handled on a part-time basis, and she typically replies within a couple of days. Prospective clients should use the site process to start and confirm current session options before booking.
How her approaches shape online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take action toward those values even when feelings are difficult. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and patterns like codependency where behavior shifts are a goal.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes that lead to better outcomes. It is practical for stress, anxiety, mood concerns, and problems with coping skills.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. She will work with the client to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and personal preferences. That choice is collaborative and may shift as progress is made.
Confirm the therapist's current online session options before booking, since specific formats are not listed here. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into busy days, reduce travel, and allow a focus on skill practice between visits. Some options also let people use shorter check-ins when time is tight or avoid video when bandwidth is low. Discussing logistics and format happens during the first scheduling steps to match sessions to daily life.
