About Annie
Annie (Anne) Cummings is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with 25 years of experience as a therapist. She works with people who are dealing with depression, anxiety, stress, substance use, grief, and parenting concerns. She also has substantial experience supporting older adults. Annie uses familiar therapies like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in sessions.
Annie trained for her Master of Social Work at Fordham University in New York City. Early clinical posts included work on a dual-diagnoses unit at New York Hospital-Cornell Medical Center and a role at Bedford Hills Correctional Facility. Those settings shaped how she approaches practical, real-life problems.
Her style is conversational and client-centered. She focuses on listening first and helping people feel understood so they can talk through what is hard. Sessions aim to be straightforward and focused on the issues the person brings.
In therapy she draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy. These methods are used to address patterns of thought and behavior, emotion regulation, and present-moment awareness.
Annie often helps people by setting clear, short-term goals and practicing skills between sessions. She pays particular attention to stress, anxiety, sleep problems, relationship and intimacy concerns, ADHD, and caregiving stress. Her approach is practical and geared toward making day-to-day life more manageable.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice thoughts without getting stuck in them and focus on actions that match personal values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence each other. It often involves setting small practice tasks and changing unhelpful thinking patterns to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to decide which methods fit the client's goals and preferences, and may combine elements of different therapies to meet practical needs.
If you are considering remote sessions, confirm the current session formats before booking. The therapist will explain practical options and help arrange sessions so they fit into daily life, such as shorter check-ins or scheduling around work. Online work can make it easier to keep therapy consistent when travel or time pressures make in-person meetings harder.
