Hello and welcome, I’m Annie Altenor a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW-QS) based in Florida. I received my Masters from Barry University and have been practicing for over 9 years. I have experience working with individuals and families helping them navigate life’s most challenging transitions. I have experience working in a wide range of populations in various settings from end-of-life, mental health, Caregivers and Veterans, adults struggling with career stress and burnout. My approach to therapy is holistic, incorporating a range of interventions such as person-centered, solution-focused, motivational therapy, and cognitive-behavioral therapy, all aimed at fostering positive change.
In our first session, we’ll start with an introduction, discuss what brought you to therapy, and explore your goals. This helps me create a personalized plan for our future sessions. Therapy is a collaborative process, and my aim is to equip you with new skills to cope with life’s challenges and support your personal growth. Each session is 60 minutes long.
My strengths as a provider include connecting with individuals, creating a judgment free space, helping individuals adjust to change and fostering a positive change. My goal is to help clients find new skills to help you cope and grow.
My passion is to work with individuals to help them find ways to navigate life’s challenges. My goal is to support your growth, improve your well-being, and foster grace; despite what you may have experienced emotionally, mentally and physically. My goal is to create an environment where you feel safe, judgment free and can grow. If you’re struggling with stress, I'm prepared to help you.

Helping individuals understand how their thoughts impact their emotions and behavior. I've been using CBT to help clients challenge reoccurring thoughts and manage their anxiety.

In the past with clients, I've used this short term goal focused evidence based therapeutic approach to incorporate positive principles and practices which help clients change and find a solution.

Utilizing biblical scripture for those clients interested incorporating it into their sessions. In the past clients have shared that integrating spirituality in their session has led to greater mental and physical well-being.

Annie is amazing and has helped me process some big life changes and emotions. Incorporating a biblical perspective is exactly what I was wanting in a therapist and she provided that well. I feel well cared for by her and LOVE that we end each session in prayer.
