How Annette’s Approaches Work Online
Annette draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT sessions often include simple exercises and real-life practice to reduce anxiety, manage panic, or shift patterns that lead to low mood.She also uses mindfulness therapy to teach present-moment awareness and stress reduction. Mindfulness skills can help with rumination, emotional reactivity, and building steadier attention during difficult moments.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Annette will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that match what a person wants to accomplish. She adjusts the plan as progress is made so the work stays practical and relevant.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for longer therapy conversations and teaching skills with visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a person prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins, quick coaching, or people who process better in writing. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep continuity between appointments.
