More about Annie

  • 25 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCSW

Hello, my name Annie and I'm a licensed clinical social worker with over 25 years experience as a therapist. I have worked with a number of clients with a variety of concerns including depression, anxiety, stress, grief and loss, substance abuse, and parenting issues. I also have a great deal of experience working with the geriatric population.

I received my educational training at Fordham University in New York City as a Master of Social Work. My professional training included working at New York Hospital-Cornell Medical Center on the dual diagnoses unit as well as Bedford Hills Correctional Facility in Bedford, NY.

My counseling style is a very open, warm, and relaxing exchange. I believe in a client-centered approach, and the most important aspect of the therapist/client relationship is for the client to feel comfortable. My approach includes Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy, and is tailored to meet the needs of each client individually.

I am aware of how difficult it can be to ask for help especially when one is at a low point in their life. I am here to accept, support, and guide you through this challenge and journey. It will be my pleasure to assist you. Thank you for your consideration!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

I’ve been using BetterHelp for a couple months now and I really like how it’s there if you need it or not. I don’t have to leave my home and that’s one of best parts of it. Annie is great! I find that she has a lot of life experience that aligns with my own. She can relate which is something a lot of therapists lack.

Annie is an incredible therapist. And she has been incredibly helpful in my mental health journey. From being super intelligent and knowledgeable about her craft to consistency and truly caring, it’s because of her that my BetterHelp experience has been so positive and beyond that, helpful. Prior to my work with Annie I didn’t believe therapy via video or any other way could be helpful. Annie proved my wrong. I’m thankful.

Ms Cummings is professional and a great listener. She challenges when a different view might be needed to bring better perspective but she is extremely supportive overall. I went into therapy/BetterHelp not really knowing what would happen but I’m really glad I made the choice to give it a try. Working with Ms Cummings has helped me to understand myself better. I’ve been able work on the things that are important to me that I was struggling with. I’ve enjoyed the experience.
