About Annie
Annie Bennett is an Ohio LISW - Licensed Independent Social Worker with 25 years of clinical experience. She focuses on addictions, relationship challenges, grief, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. She also addresses trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, eating issues, anger, career stress, and compassion fatigue.
Bennett trained at the University of Kentucky and completed two years of conjoint marital and family therapy training. Much of her career has been in addiction work, especially with women, including a long-term residential program that allowed children 12 and under to live on-site. She has also taught in a social work graduate department and has experience supervising other clinicians.
Her approach blends Emotionally-Focused Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based ideas, client-centered methods, and cognitive behavioral techniques. Sessions are practical and aim to help people make changes they find meaningful. She uses clear, action-oriented strategies alongside attention to emotions and relationships.
Sessions are 45 minutes and scheduled according to progress and client preference. Bennett works part time and maintains an online schedule. She checks messages most weekdays and asks for patience when responses take a bit longer due to other professional responsibilities.

How Annie uses EFT and related approaches online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on understanding and shifting emotional patterns that affect relationships and individual well-being; it helps people name hard-to-reach feelings and change interaction cycles that keep problems going. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and to take actions that align with their values. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relational patterns shape current bonds and responses, and it can be useful for relationship and intimacy concerns.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to clarify goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan as progress is made. This is a joint process that balances emotions, behavior, and practical steps.
Specific session formats were not listed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and reduce travel time. For some people, being off camera or using audio-only can lower the need for bandwidth and make it simpler to focus. Licensed professionals, including therapists with EFT and ACT experience, can use these practical arrangements to help clients work on emotions, relationships, and coping strategies without changing the quality of care.
