About Anna
Anna Carpentieri is a licensed clinical social worker in New York with five years of professional experience. She connects with people online and in conversational sessions to help them move through stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and big life changes. Anna aims to make therapy feel approachable and down-to-earth from the first conversation.
Her style is warm and casual. She listens with curiosity and follows each person’s lead while offering clear tools when they are useful.
Background and approach
Many clients work on managing anxiety, improving mood, and finding clearer ways to communicate. Anna uses a mix of approaches that she adapts to fit each person. She draws on client-centered work to center the person’s goals.
She also offers cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness practices to address thoughts, habits, and daily stressors. Practical skills are part of sessions when they help. She may suggest breathing exercises, short journaling prompts, visualization, or worksheet-style tasks to try between sessions.
These are framed as experiments rather than tests, so people can see what helps. Sessions are offered in English and conducted online by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Anna notes that online formats can make scheduling easier and let people choose how they want to connect.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire leads to scheduling based on the therapist’s availability.
Online approaches that focus on thoughts, skills, and connection
Anna often uses client-centered work to keep the person’s goals front and center. This approach means sessions begin with open listening and follow what matters most to the individual, helping them notice strengths and decide next steps.She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT tools are practical for addressing anxiety, low mood, and stress by testing new ways of thinking and acting. Mindfulness practices are offered to build simple, short exercises that reduce reactivity and improve focus in daily life.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Techniques are adapted over time so sessions stay relevant and useful.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text messaging. Video is good for a typical session with face-to-face interaction. Phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to use video. Live chat and text are useful for quick check-ins, shorter reflections, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it possible to fit therapy into busy schedules and try different ways of connecting.
