About Annie
Annie Bennett is an Ohio LISW - Licensed Independent Social Worker with 25 years of clinical experience. She focuses on addictions, mental health, relationship and family concerns, and issues common in early adulthood such as stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes.
She spent much of her career working in addiction treatment, primarily with women, including a decade in a long-term residential program that allowed children under 12 to live with their parent. Her background also includes teaching in a social work graduate program and two years of conjoint marital and family therapy training.
Annie uses practical, action-focused methods that draw on cognitive behavioral ideas, humanistic client-centered work, and solution-focused techniques. She emphasizes helping people identify clear steps they can try between sessions. Sessions are 45 minutes long and frequency is based on the progress clients notice.
She describes therapy as real work that often leads to meaningful change. Annie speaks from personal experience about making major life changes with therapeutic support, and she connects that perspective to helping others tackle difficult changes in relationships, career, or health.
Her practice addresses a broad range of concerns including grief, self-esteem, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, eating concerns, anger, career adjustments, depression, and compassion fatigue. She also notes additional focus areas such as attachment, codependency, blended family issues, caregiving stress, and domestic violence.
Sessions are conducted in English and take place under her Ohio practice. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online therapy options button.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice their thoughts and choose actions that match their values instead of getting stuck by uncomfortable feelings. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and making life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and tests practical steps to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current relationships and helps people build different ways of relating to partners and others.Choosing an approach is collaborative. Annie will discuss these methods with clients and together decide which fits the person’s goals and situation. She adapts the work over time based on what is helping and what the client wants to focus on.
Her profile notes an online schedule with 45-minute sessions, so check the platform’s listed options before booking to confirm current session formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy weekday, allow a shorter check-in when schedules are tight, or avoid travel time so appointments are more practical. Licensed professionals can use online sessions to practice the same techniques they would in person, such as behavioral experiments, values-based exercises, and skills coaching, while keeping the focus on what helps the client make steady progress.
