About Annie
Annie (Anne) Cummings is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in Florida with 25 years of experience. She has spent decades helping people who face anxiety, depression, stress, grief, substance use concerns, parenting challenges, and aging-related issues.
She trained at Fordham University where she earned a Master of Social Work. Early in her career she worked on a dual-diagnoses unit at New York Hospital-Cornell Medical Center and at Bedford Hills Correctional Facility, experience that shaped how she approaches complex problems.
Her style is direct and conversational. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between visits. She draws on client-centered methods so people can speak and be heard without judgment.
Annie uses cognitive behavioral techniques to look at thinking and behavior patterns that keep problems going. She also incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and solution-focused ideas when clients want clear, goal-oriented work.
She has particular experience supporting older adults and caregivers alongside the broader issues listed above. Sessions tend to emphasize coping skills, communication, managing emotions, and real-world problem solving. People who want steady, experienced support around life stressors often find this approach useful.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and choose actions that match their values rather than being driven by painful thoughts. This can be useful for anxiety, avoidance, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like worry, low mood, and sleep problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and will try approaches that fit the problem and the person. That collaborative process helps decide whether to emphasize ACT, CBT, or client-centered conversation in sessions.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know which online formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, shorten commute time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people keep consistent weekly work when travel or caregiving makes in-person visits difficult. Ask about session lengths and any technical details when you schedule your first meeting.
