About Annie

Annie Bennett is a licensed independent social worker (LISW) in Ohio who blends emotion-focused and practical approaches to help people facing hard life moments. She draws on long experience with addiction and related mental health and relationship concerns. Annie aims to meet people where they are and help them move toward the life they want.

She has 25 years of clinical work, much of it in addiction treatment settings that included care for women and parenting needs.

Background and approach

That background shaped her focus on grief, stress, anxiety, self-esteem, and recovery from trauma and abuse. She also supports people dealing with eating and intimacy-related issues, depression, and career strain. Annie uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas, with practical tools from cognitive behavioral and client-centered approaches.

Sessions tend to be straightforward and collaborative, with attention to emotions, values, and small steps clients can try between visits. Her work includes attention to abandonment, attachment, blended family challenges, caregiver stress, codependency, communication and commitment issues, and the emotional impact of cancer or aging. She describes therapy as active work that often leads to meaningful change when people stay engaged.

Sessions are 45 minutes long and offered online in a mix of formats. Annie keeps a part-time practice and typically responds to messages Monday through Thursday, aiming to reply within a couple of days.

Online support

How emotion-focused and value-based therapy works online

Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on the role of emotions in relationships and personal patterns; it helps people name and shift emotional responses that keep them stuck. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy emphasizes values and committed action, teaching practical ways to accept difficult feelings while moving toward what matters most.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide whether emotion-focused work, ACT techniques, or a blend of approaches best fits the situation and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let the therapist and client meet face-to-face for deeper emotional work. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging support ongoing coaching, brief check-ins, or reminders between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and try different ways of working until the client finds a good fit.
