Therapeutic approaches and online options
Annette uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT often involves short exercises and homework to test new ways of thinking and acting, which can help with anxiety, depression, panic, and sleep issues.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on clarifying personal values and taking action that aligns with those values. ACT can be useful for coping with chronic stress, mood problems, and life transitions by teaching people to accept difficult feelings while moving toward what matters to them.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options, try methods that fit the person's goals, and adjust techniques if something isn't working. Clients help set priorities and check progress along the way.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is low or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging let people send short updates or work through issues between scheduled meetings. These options make it easier to fit counseling around work, caregiving, or other commitments.
