Anna Carpentieri, LCSW

Anna Carpentieri is a licensed New York clinician with five years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, depression, family concerns, self-esteem struggles, and major life transitions. She practices as an LCSW - a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - and has spent more than four years providing therapy through online platforms, valuing the flexibility and range of digital resources that virtual work can offer.

Her approach centers on the individual, drawing from client-centered principles to help people identify strengths and navigate challenges at their own pace. Anna blends that person-centered stance with evidence-based techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness practices, and narrative methods. She has worked with issues including trauma, loss, coping with life changes, body image and eating-related concerns, gender dysphoria, sexuality, social anxiety, isolation, communication difficulties, and women’s mental health.

In session she uses practical tools such as guided visualization, journaling prompts, breathing exercises, and structured worksheets, tailoring interventions to what resonates for each person. Her style is described as warm and approachable, allowing clients to lead the conversation while she offers curiosity, validation, and clear skills to support growth. Anna adapts her methods to fit the virtual setting and the needs of the individual, focusing on collaborative, strengths-based work rather than a one-size-fits-all model.
