About Annie
Annie (Anne) Cummings is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 25 years of experience providing psychotherapy in Florida.
Background and approach
She trained as a Master of Social Work at Fordham University and has clinical experience in settings that included New York Hospital-Cornell Medical Center on a dual diagnoses unit and Bedford Hills Correctional Facility. Her background spans work with depression, anxiety, stress, grief and loss, substance use concerns, parenting challenges, and geriatric care.
Her style blends warmth and openness with practical therapeutic tools, creating a relaxed atmosphere where clients can explore goals and challenges. Annie uses client-centered principles alongside evidence-informed techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and solution-focused strategies, tailoring interventions to each person’s needs.
She aims to offer acceptance, support, and guidance for people navigating difficult life moments, helping them build coping skills and clearer directions for change.
Based in Florida, Annie draws on long-standing clinical experience to support a wide range of concerns including relationship and family matters, trauma and abuse, addiction, mood disorders, ADHD, bereavement, and issues around intimacy, self-esteem, and career transitions.
How her approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that align with their values; it can be helpful for anxiety, depression, grief, and coping with life changes by building psychological flexibility. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and developing concrete skills to change behaviors and reactions, which is useful for issues such as anxiety, mood concerns, sleep problems, and addiction. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship where the therapist listens deeply and helps clients find their own solutions, supporting exploration of self-esteem, relationships, and life transitions.Deciding which approach or combination will work best is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and practical needs with clients and adapt methods as the work progresses, ensuring treatment fits the person rather than forcing a single model.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexible ways to engage in therapy from different settings. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care around work, family, and mobility needs while accessing regular therapeutic support from a licensed professional.
