Annie Bennett is an Ohio licensed independent social worker (LISW) with 25 years of clinical experience. She combines practical, down-to-earth guidance with a focus on real-life change. Annie meets people where they are and helps them move toward clearer goals and healthier routines.
Her work centers on addictions and related mental health concerns, and she often addresses relationship and intimacy issues alongside substance use.

Annie draws on cognitive behavioral approaches, acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-based perspectives, dialectical behavior strategies, and a client-centered stance. In sessions she uses direct, practical methods aimed at shifts in thinking and behavior. She values collaboration and helps people set steps they can actually use between visits.
She has extensive experience working in addiction treatment settings, including long-term residential programs for women where parenting needs were part of care.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts and values-based action rather than getting stuck in worries. It can help when anxiety, stress, or life changes make daily choices feel overwhelming. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and trying new behaviors to reduce symptoms like depression, anxiety, or difficulties with substance use. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and can be useful for relationship, intimacy, and some trauma-related concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Annie partners with each person to choose methods that match goals and preferences. Together they try techniques, check what helps, and adjust the plan over time so sessions stay relevant to the client’s needs.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter travel time, and let someone maintain continuity of care during life transitions. They also let a therapist guide skills practice in everyday settings and follow progress between meetings.
