Annie Bennett

Annie Bennett is an Ohio licensed independent social worker (LISW) with 25 years of clinical experience. She brings a practical, down-to-earth approach to therapy and focuses on helping people manage anger, addiction, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Annie aims to meet people where they are and support steady progress toward their goals.

She trained at the University of Kentucky and completed two years of conjoint marital and family therapy training. Much of her work has been in addiction services, especially programs for women, including long-term residential treatment where mothers could bring children under 12. That background informs her familiarity with trauma, relationship strain, and caregiver stress.

Annie blends cognitive behavioral techniques with acceptance-focused and humanistic ideas. Sessions are collaborative and goal-oriented, with attention to practical skills for day-to-day coping. She describes therapy as hard work that often pays off through clearer choices and better relationships.

She currently practices part time and usually responds to messages Monday through Thursday. Online sessions are typically 45 minutes long, and how often people meet is based on the progress they notice. Annie likes to use simple metaphors, such as adjusting sails when the wind changes, to help people see options during difficult times.

People considering therapy complete a short matching questionnaire to schedule a visit. Annie welcomes conversations about concerns like grief, self-esteem, intimacy issues, career stress, and compassion fatigue, and helps clients identify practical next steps.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then take actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with major life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and changing patterns of behavior and coping; it often includes practical exercises and homework to build new skills.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before, and then suggest methods to try together. Plans can change as progress is made and new issues emerge.

The biography indicates an online schedule and 45-minute online sessions. Confirm the exact session formats before booking to make sure they fit your needs. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow consistent check-ins while balancing work or caregiving, and support regular skill practice between visits. Annie will help tailor the pace and focus so sessions fit into everyday life without promising any specific outcome.
