About Anna

Anna Carpentieri is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in New York with five years of experience. She uses a warm, informal style and focuses on listening to who each person is and what they want to change. Anna emphasizes collaboration and curiosity in sessions so people feel heard and understood.

She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and life changes. Anna also supports concerns related to self-esteem, body image, eating and food-related issues, communication problems, gender dysphoria, sexuality, social anxiety and phobia, and isolation or loneliness. Her work centers on helping clients notice strengths and build new skills over time.

Anna draws on client-centered therapy alongside cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior approaches. She weaves in mindfulness and motivational interviewing when useful. In sessions she may use simple tools like guided breathing, journaling prompts, visualization, and practical worksheets to practice between appointments.

Her manner is approachable and somewhat casual, and she prefers to let clients set the pace. People who want a supportive listener with tangible skills and everyday tools often find this style helpful. Anna aims to tailor each plan to what actually fits a person's life.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on availability. The subscription used for sessions can be canceled at any time, and cost varies with location and therapist availability.

How Anna blends therapy approaches for online sessions

Anna uses client-centered therapy to start, which means sessions begin by listening closely to what matters most to the person. This approach helps people feel understood and sets goals based on their values and priorities.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, a practical method that looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. CBT gives clear strategies for reducing anxiety, improving mood, and changing unhelpful patterns. Dialectical behavior therapy techniques appear in her work as well, offering skills for managing strong emotions and improving communication.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Anna will check in about what feels useful and adapt tools to each person's needs, goals, and preferences. Treatment plans are developed collaboratively and can change as progress is made.

Session formats are not listed in this profile, so confirm options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let clients use digital tools like worksheets and journaling prompts between meetings. Licensed therapists can tailor sessions to match a person's schedule and practical constraints.
