About Annette
Annette Kauffroth is a licensed clinical social worker with 14 years of experience helping people facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma, depression, and life transitions. She brings a warm, down-to-earth presence to sessions and focuses on practical steps clients can use right away. Annette blends empathy with clear tools so people can move from feeling stuck toward meaningful change.
She began her career as an engineer before moving into social work, so she values both clear thinking and human connection.
How Annette works
In sessions she balances acceptance with action, helping clients notice what matters and take small steps that reflect those values. Treatment often involves simple skills for coping, new ways to handle difficult thoughts, and better communication patterns. Annette uses several well-known approaches.
She draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and build committed action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. Attachment-Based ideas help look at how early relationships shape current patterns.
Her work also incorporates techniques from Dialectical Behavior Therapy to manage strong emotions and Client-Centered Therapy to keep the session focused on each person’s goals. She has experience with trauma and facilitating trauma-informed groups, and she supports people dealing with grief, addiction, parenting strains, and intimacy-related issues. Sessions are offered in English and are available through online formats.
Annette aims for a collaborative style where people feel heard and leave with concrete steps to try between meetings.

How Annette’s Approaches Translate to Online Therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values. Online sessions can focus on identifying priorities, creating tiny experiments, and tracking progress between meetings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors link together and uses practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns. In virtual appointments clients learn skills like thought records, behavioral experiments, and activity scheduling that can be practiced in daily life.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then agree on methods together. That collaborative process means the plan can change as progress is made or new challenges appear.
Online formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and working on communication skills. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth or camera use is an issue. Live chat or text messaging can support shorter check-ins, skill coaching, or staying connected between sessions. These options aim to make consistent care more flexible and accessible for different schedules and needs.
