Anna Carpentieri

Anna Carpentieri is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in New York. She has five years of professional experience and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and life transitions. Anna brings a warm, approachable style to sessions and likes to hear about where clients want to go in life.

She uses a person-centered stance that helps people notice their strengths. That means conversations are guided by what matters most to the client rather than a rigid script. Anna also draws from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to teach concrete skills for mood and behavior changes.

Mindfulness and narrative techniques are part of her toolkit too. She often offers breathing exercises, visualization, journaling prompts, and worksheets when those tools fit a client's needs. Sessions aim to be practical and collaborative, so clients leave with things to try between meetings.

Anna has worked with concerns such as body image, eating and food-related issues, gender dysphoria, sexuality, social anxiety, and isolation. She also supports people navigating communication problems and family-related stress while keeping the client's goals central.

Her tone in the room tends to be warm and somewhat casual. She encourages curiosity, invites clients to lead when it feels right, and tailors the approach to each person's preferences and pace.

How certain approaches work online and find the right fit

Client-centered therapy focuses on what the client wants to explore and follows their lead. Online sessions let that conversation continue in a flexible way, with the therapist checking in about goals and preferences.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. In online work CBT often uses worksheets, journaling, and short between-session exercises to track progress.

Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, emphasizes skills for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Online sessions can introduce and practice DBT skills such as distress tolerance and emotion regulation in manageable steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to match methods to a client's needs, goals, and comfort. That means trying different tools and adjusting them over time based on what helps.

Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make scheduling easier and help sessions fit into busy lives. It can reduce travel time, allow quicker check-ins between appointments, and make it simpler to use worksheets or journaling between meetings.
