About Annie

Annie (Anne) Cummings is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 25 years of experience providing psychotherapy. Trained at Fordham University with clinical placements that included New York Hospital-Cornell Medical Center and Bedford Hills Correctional Facility, she brings a long history of practice across varied settings.

Background and approach

Annie has supported people facing depression, anxiety, stress, grief and loss, substance use concerns, and parenting challenges, and she also has extensive work with geriatric clients. Her style is warm, open, and client-centered, emphasizing a relaxed therapeutic exchange where comfort and collaboration matter.

She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, and solution-focused techniques, adapting interventions to each person’s situation. Annie aims to accept, support, and guide people through difficult transitions and coping challenges, including attention-related concerns such as ADHD listed among her areas of focus.

She frames the work as a shared process and seeks to tailor goals and strategies to individual strengths and needs.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and identifying values-driven actions, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, making it useful for stress, mood difficulties, and coping skills. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be helpful when strong emotions or relationship challenges are present.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to clarify goals, try strategies, and adjust methods based on what proves most helpful. Clients are encouraged to share preferences and feedback so treatment can be tailored to their situation and pace.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing people to access care from home or other convenient locations. These options make it easier to fit regular sessions into busy schedules and to maintain continuity of care during life changes or when in-person visits are difficult.
