About Annie
Annie Bennett is an Ohio Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) with 25 years of practice. She lists work with addictions, relationship concerns, grief, self-esteem, stress, anxiety, LGBT issues, family matters, trauma and abuse, and other life changes as areas she addresses. Annie draws on multiple therapy approaches and practical problem solving in sessions.
She has a master's degree from the University of Kentucky and completed two years of conjoint marital and family therapy training. Much of her career has focused on addiction work, especially with women, including time in a long-term residential program that allowed children under 13 to stay with their mothers. Annie also taught in a social work graduate department early in her career.
Her style blends cognitive behavioral work, client-centered ideas, and solution-focused practices. Sessions are described as collaborative and grounded in everyday goals. She speaks in direct terms about change and the effort it takes, and she shares that major life changes are possible with sustained work and support.
Annie typically works part time and aims to respond to messages Monday through Thursday. Her online schedule is posted and sessions are 45 minutes long. Frequency of visits is decided together, based on the progress clients feel they are making.
She mentions supervising others as part of her practice and draws on long-term clinical experience with addiction and related mental health issues. People considering therapy are encouraged to review the posted schedule and follow the site steps to match and book an initial session.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice and accept difficult thoughts and feelings while taking steps toward what matters to them. It can help with anxiety, depression, and making values-based decisions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current patterns and helps people change how they relate to others and to themselves. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behavior patterns and replacing them with more effective skills for managing mood, stress, and coping.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Annie will talk with each person about goals and preferences and pick methods that fit those goals. She treats this as a collaborative process and adjusts approaches as progress and needs become clearer.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking since this profile reflects the therapist's practice details rather than platform features. Her posted online schedule lists 45-minute sessions. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow for brief check-ins when schedules are tight. Some people prefer phone-only check-ins for lower bandwidth or a shorter interruption, while others choose video to read facial cues; the therapist will discuss what works best for each person's circumstances.
