About Annie
Annie (Anne) Cummings is a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of professional experience. She practices in Florida and brings a calm, approachable presence to sessions. Many people seek her help for stress, anxiety, depression, substance concerns, and parenting struggles.
She earned a Master of Social Work from Fordham University in New York City. Early in her career she worked on a dual diagnoses unit at New York Hospital-Cornell Medical Center and at Bedford Hills Correctional Facility in Bedford, New York.
Background and approach
Those roles shaped her practical skills with complex situations. Annie favors a client-centered way of working. She focuses on making people feel comfortable and heard.
Conversations are warm and relaxed, and the pace is set by each person’s needs. Her sessions often draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, along with solution-focused strategies. That mix helps people change unhelpful patterns, manage difficult feelings, and set small, realistic goals.
Parents who are stretched thin or unsure where to turn will find straightforward problem-solving and practical support. Annie also has experience with grief, trauma and abuse, sleeping problems, anger, ADHD, caregiving stress, and issues around identity and relationships. She works with adults across a range of life stages and concerns.
People who want a steady, compassionate guide for coping with change and improving day-to-day functioning may find her style helpful.

Approaches and what online therapy can offer
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts without getting driven by them and then act toward what matters to them. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns through practical exercises and skill building, which can help with mood, sleep, and stress. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person’s experience and priorities, offering empathic listening and support while clients find their own solutions.Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your goals, try different strategies, and adjust methods based on what helps most. Many people benefit from combining elements from these approaches to match their situation and preferences.
Online sessions can fit into busy family lives and work schedules. Video calls let you talk face to face, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for quick check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make it simpler to keep counseling consistent and to use different formats for different needs.
