About Annie
Annie (Anne) Cummings is a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of experience. She offers calm, straightforward support for people facing depression, anxiety, stress, substance concerns, grief, and parenting challenges. Anne works from Florida and uses clear, practical methods to help people find steps they can take now.
Anne trained at Fordham University in New York City and has worked in hospital and correctional settings, including a dual diagnosis unit at New York Hospital-Cornell Medical Center and Bedford Hills Correctional Facility. That background shaped her comfort with complex and co-occurring concerns and with older adults.
Her counseling style is open, warm, and relaxed. She centers the conversation on each person and aims to create a space where someone can speak honestly and feel heard. Sessions focus on real-world changes rather than abstract ideas.
Anne uses approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy. She mixes tools from these approaches to match what each person needs and prefers.
People come for help with a wide range of concerns - from sleep and anger to intimacy and career stress. She also supports those coping with chronic illness, caregiving strain, addiction, trauma, and life transitions. Anne encourages manageable goals and steady progress over time.
How Annie Uses Therapy Models Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small actions that align with what matters. It helps people manage difficult thoughts and keep moving toward a life they value. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at problems by linking thoughts, feelings, and actions, and teaches concrete strategies to change patterns that cause distress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers practical skills for coping with intense emotions and improving communication in stressful moments.Choosing the right approach is something to do together. Anne will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your needs. If an approach isn’t working, she will adjust the plan and try other tools until you find a good match.
