About Annie

Annie Bennett is an Ohio LISW - Licensed Independent Social Worker with 25 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on issues such as addiction, relationship struggles, grief, self-esteem, stress, anxiety, anger, and life transitions. She also addresses trauma, intimacy concerns, eating issues, career strains, depression, and caregiver fatigue.

Bennett trained at the University of Kentucky and completed two years of conjoint marital and family therapy training. Much of her career has involved addiction treatment, especially programs serving women. She spent a decade in a long-term residential treatment setting that allowed women to bring children up to 12 years old. She has also taught in a graduate social work department.

Her approach blends cognitive behavioral ideas, client-centered humanistic work, and solution-focused strategies. Sessions aim to identify patterns, try practical skills, and set achievable next steps. She values collaboration and helps people take concrete actions that fit their life circumstances.

Sessions are typically 45 minutes and meet at a frequency based on the progress a person reports. Annie notes that change takes effort and that therapy is a working process with clear, gradual gains rather than instant fixes. She draws on decades of direct practice with addiction and related mental health concerns when supporting people through hard transitions.

Prospective clients should confirm session options before booking. To begin, follow the platform directions to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first visit. Bennett works from Ohio and conducts sessions in English.

How sessions work

How her approaches shape online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values; it can help with anger that feels overwhelming or gets in the way of relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into patterns of thought and behavior and uses practical exercises to change them, which is useful for stress, anxiety, and anger reactions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current responses and can be useful when anger connects to trust, abandonment, or intimacy issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Annie will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Together they review what helps, try skills in sessions, and adjust the plan as progress is reported.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are available. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins, or remove commuting time. Licensed professionals often use these benefits to keep momentum between sessions and to practice skills in everyday contexts without promising specific outcomes.
