About Annie
Annie (Anne) Cummings is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with 25 years of clinical experience. She has worked with people facing depression, anxiety, stress, grief, substance use concerns, parenting strains, and anger. She also has extensive experience supporting older adults and those navigating serious life transitions.
Anne trained at Fordham University where she completed a Master of Social Work. Early clinical roles included work on a dual diagnoses unit at New York Hospital-Cornell Medical Center and time at Bedford Hills Correctional Facility. Those settings shaped her practical, down-to-earth approach to problem solving.
Her style leans toward client-centered work. Sessions are intended as an open exchange where the client sets the pace. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy as ways to help people identify patterns, try concrete skills, and notice what matters to them.
In sessions she mixes skill practice with straightforward conversation. That might mean tracking what leads to angry reactions, testing small behavior changes, or learning ways to calm a racing mind. She also supports people dealing with grief, relationship difficulty, caregiving stress, and the burnout that can come from caring roles.
Anne works in Florida and sees people in English. Fees vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and choose actions that reflect their values. It is useful for anger driven by stuck thinking or avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that maintain strong emotions and testing small changes to reduce reactivity. It often involves homework and concrete skill practice.Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and try methods that fit a person's situation. Together they will track what helps and adjust the plan over time rather than assuming one single method will be used the whole way.
The biography does not list which session formats are offered, so confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example shorter check-ins during a lunch break, avoiding a commute, or choosing audio-only when bandwidth is limited. Licensed professionals also adapt exercises for remote work, such as sending brief worksheets, guiding in-the-moment breathing or grounding practices, and assigning short between-session tasks to practice new responses to anger.
