About Annie
Annie Bennett is an Ohio LISW - a licensed independent social worker with 25 years of clinical experience. She lists anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, grief, self-esteem, trauma and related issues among the topics she addresses. Annie writes that she uses a mix of cognitive and humanistic approaches and solution-focused work in sessions.
She trained at the University of Kentucky and completed two years of conjoint marital and family therapy training. Much of her career has been focused on addiction work, especially with women, including time in a long-term residential treatment program where women could bring children up to age 12.
Her session style blends cognitive behavioral techniques with client-centered and solution-focused methods. She aims to work with people where they are and help them move toward clear goals. Annie describes therapy as practical work that often requires effort and support from the client's environment.
Annie has experience teaching at the graduate level and supervising other clinicians. She notes she checks messages most weekdays and that her online schedule is posted. Sessions are 45 minutes and how often people meet is decided together based on progress.
She shares a simple sailing metaphor: you cannot change the winds but you can adjust your sails. That image reflects her focus on practical change and on making steady adjustments to day-to-day life.
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then take action toward what matters to them. It can help with anxiety, avoidance, and finding steady ways to act when emotions are strong.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on practical skill building. It looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaches strategies for changing unhelpful thinking and testing new actions. This approach is useful for anxiety, stress, and low mood.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether to emphasize ACT, CBT, attachment-based ideas, or a mix of methods as work progresses.
Confirm the exact online session formats before booking, as the profile notes 45-minute online sessions but does not list other specifics. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, avoid travel time, and use shorter or longer breaks around work. Some people prefer not being on camera, while others find video sessions more connected; these practical options are part of choosing what fits day-to-day life.
