How Annette works
Her background includes long experience with adoption and foster care matters, blended family issues, caregiver stress, and aging and geriatric concerns.

Midlife transitions and young adult issues are among the topics she addresses, along with financial stress and family problems that affect day-to-day functioning.

Approaches that focus on strengths and practical change
Annette uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that emphasize real-world steps and personal strengths. One approach focuses on strengthening coping skills and building confidence by breaking challenges into small, manageable tasks; this helps when motivation is low or self-esteem has been shaken. Another approach centers on addressing grief and loss through guided conversations that help people make sense of what happened and find ways to honor and move forward. These methods are practical and aimed at producing steady progress on day-to-day problems.Finding the right method is part of the work together. Annette collaborates with each person to choose approaches that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. She listens to what matters most and adjusts techniques so they remain useful and workable in the context of a client's life.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people have a face-to-face conversation from wherever they are. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief updates or ongoing support between longer sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue care across distances.
