Annie (Anne) Cummings

Annie (Anne) Cummings is a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of experience. She practices in Florida and has worked with people facing depression, anxiety, stress, grief, substance use, and parenting concerns. Annie aims to make the first steps toward help feel calm and manageable.

She trained at Fordham University in New York City, earning a Master of Social Work, and has worked in clinical settings including New York Hospital-Cornell Medical Center and Bedford Hills Correctional Facility. That background gave her experience with complex care needs and clients facing multiple challenges.

Annie keeps sessions warm and low-pressure. She emphasizes a client-centered style where the client’s comfort comes first. Conversations are meant to feel like a respectful, open exchange rather than a lecture.

Her work draws on practical methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. She blends these approaches to match what each person needs, focusing on clear steps people can try between sessions.

Annie has substantial experience with older adults and people coping with long-term health or caregiving strains. She also supports people dealing with relationship strain, trauma, LGBT concerns, sleep problems, ADHD, and adjustments that come with major life change.

She understands how hard it is to ask for help and aims to offer steady support and guidance. Prospective clients can expect straightforward conversation, concrete strategies, and a focus on small, achievable goals.

Approaches that inform online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small actions that align with those values, which can help when coping with life transitions, grief, or chronic stress. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person, using warm, nonjudgmental listening to help someone feel heard and understood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and provides practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns that maintain anxiety or low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Annie will collaborate with each person to identify which methods fit their goals and preferences. Together they will try methods, review what helps, and adjust the plan as needed so sessions stay relevant and useful.

Confirm the exact online session options before booking, as session formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing commute time, allowing shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and letting people join from wherever they are located in Florida. Licensed professionals can use these flexible arrangements to focus on skill practice, problem-solving, and managing day-to-day stress without promising a specific outcome.
