About Annie
Annie Bennett is an Ohio Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) with 25 years of clinical experience. She uses straightforward, respectful care to help people manage addiction, grief, anxiety, and relationship struggles. Annie aims to meet people where they are and help them move toward what they want.
Her background includes a master’s degree from the University of Kentucky and two years of conjoint marital and family therapy training. Early work focused on addiction services for women, including long-term residential programs that allowed children under 12 to stay with their mothers.
How Annie works
She has also taught in a graduate social work department. Annie blends cognitive behavioral, humanistic, and solution-focused approaches in her work. She emphasizes practical steps and personal choice.
Sessions are oriented toward change that feels realistic for each person. She knows change is hard because she has made big life changes herself. That experience shaped her belief that people do not have to face problems alone.
Her style is collaborative and grounded in real-life concerns. Annie works part time and typically responds within a couple of days. Online sessions are 45 minutes long and scheduled at a rhythm chosen with each client.
She values steady progress and adjusts frequency based on how people are doing.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small, values-driven steps even when feelings are difficult. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with practical exercises and homework tasks, often helping with anxiety, depression, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns that formed in close relationships and helps people develop healthier connection skills and emotional understanding in their relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Annie will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. She adapts tools from these approaches as the therapeutic relationship develops so the plan fits the person rather than the other way around.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible options. Video calls let people work face to face when convenient. Phone sessions can fit a shorter break. Live chat or messaging can be useful for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These formats help make therapy more accessible for different schedules and life demands.
