Anmarie Antenucci, LISW

Anmarie Antenucci is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) in Ohio with 31 years of clinical experience. She focuses on common life stresses like anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and relationship strain. She also supports people facing major health challenges including cancer, chronic pain, illness, and disability. Her style is rooted in respect for each person’s story and strengths. She centers sessions on what each person brings and what they want to change. That means listening first, then working together to set small, practical goals. Her background includes two decades of experience supporting people affected by cancer, so she is familiar with the practical and emotional ripple effects of serious illness. Therapy often includes talking through difficult feelings and testing new ways of responding. She uses approaches that help people notice and shift unhelpful thoughts, deepen emotional awareness, and strengthen relationships. Sessions may also address burnout, compassion fatigue, grief, and life transitions. Anmarie believes starting therapy can feel uncertain, and she aims to make the first steps clearer. She encourages clients to identify realistic goals and to build skills that fit their daily life. Progress is framed around small changes that add up. She practices in Ohio and conducts sessions in English. To begin, prospective clients choose the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a time based on therapist availability.

How these approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s experience, listening closely and following their lead to build trust and direction. In an online setting this means the therapist prioritizes what matters most to the client and adapts sessions to their goals and pace.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice patterns of thought that increase stress or anxiety and then tests practical steps to change those patterns. Online sessions can use short exercises and weekly practice to make those shifts feel more manageable.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy, or EFT, helps people identify and name painful emotions and use that awareness to improve how they relate to themselves and others. The approach can be helpful for grief, relationship concerns, and managing intense emotions in the face of illness.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your goals, try methods that suit your needs, and adjust the plan as you go. Clients are invited to give feedback so the work stays useful and manageable.

Session formats are not specified in the profile, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online work helpful because it can fit into a busy week, reduce travel time, and make it easier to follow up between sessions. Therapists and clients often use online sessions to practice skills in real life and check progress between meetings.
