About Anmarie
Anmarie Antenucci is an Ohio LISW with 31 years of professional experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and self-esteem concerns. She also has long-term experience supporting people affected by cancer and other chronic illness. Her work has included addressing coping with life changes, grief, compassion fatigue, and ADHD-related challenges.
She approaches sessions from a client-centered stance that treats the person as the expert on their life. Practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy are used to identify thoughts and behaviors that maintain distress. Emotionally-focused work helps people notice and name underlying feelings that shape relationships and reactions.
Clients can expect straightforward conversation about current problems and step-by-step ideas to try between meetings. The therapist listens for what is most pressing and then offers concrete strategies for managing panic, reducing avoidance, or improving communication. She draws on decades of practice with chronic illness and end-of-life related concerns when those issues are present.
Sessions are aimed at helping people build skills for coping with overwhelming moments, reducing isolation, and reconnecting with what matters to them. When relationship strains or codependency show up, she helps people set clearer boundaries and express needs more directly. Work with obsessions, compulsions, and panic focuses on manageable behavioral changes and thought tracking.
People who struggle with social anxiety and phobia are supported with gentle exposure planning and skills to handle situations that feel threatening. The overall approach blends listening, problem-solving, and behavior-focused exercises to address both everyday stressors and deeper losses.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding the person’s perspective and priorities. Online sessions give time to talk through what matters most, and the therapist follows the client’s lead while offering reflective feedback. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) provides concrete techniques to notice unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors. In remote sessions this can include guided thought records, activity plans, and stepwise exposure practice for panic or social anxiety. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and name strong emotions that affect relationships and reactions. Over video or phone, the therapist guides attention to feelings and patterns that keep people stuck.Finding the right fit is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try different strategies, and adjust the approach based on what the client reports is helpful. Clients are invited to raise practical concerns or preferences so sessions can be shaped around their needs and comfort.
Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life by reducing travel time and letting people join from a quieter spot or during a break. Some formats may be shorter check-ins, phone-only meetings for lower bandwidth, or video sessions for face-to-face conversation, depending on what the therapist offers. The focus is on making sessions fit regular routines while working on skills for anxiety, phobia, panic, and relationship concerns.
