Annette uses straightforward conversation to identify what feels most urgent. She helps set small, doable goals and teaches coping steps that clients can try between sessions.
How Annette works
Sessions mix supportive listening with skills and exercises tailored to the issue at hand. Her background includes work with caregivers, people facing midlife transitions, and those dealing with grief, addiction, or burnout. Annette pays attention to how life roles and responsibilities affect emotions and choices.
She also addresses concerns such as eating-related issues, impulsivity, and feelings of isolation. Annette draws on a range of approaches, including client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, emotionally-focused work, EMDR, and mindfulness. She adapts methods to match each person's needs rather than using a single formula.
This keeps sessions focused and practical. People who come to Annette usually want concrete ways to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. She supports work on communication problems, codependency, forgiveness, and finding clearer life direction.
The aim is steady progress through realistic steps and honest conversation.

Online support options
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and helping people find their own solutions. Online sessions using this approach often center on reflective conversation and practical goal-setting to improve day-to-day coping.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In virtual sessions CBT typically includes identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, trying out new behaviors between meetings, and using short exercises during video or messaging exchanges.
Emotionally-focused therapy (EFT) helps people pay attention to emotional responses and the needs underneath them. Online EFT sessions guide clients through noticing emotions, naming needs, and practicing new ways of responding in relationships or personal situations.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before, then suggest a plan and adjust it as you progress. This makes therapy a team effort where practical steps are checked and revised together.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for fuller conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when video would be distracting or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging work well for shorter check-ins, exercise feedback, or when written reflection helps. These options make it simpler to fit sessions into busy schedules and to keep momentum between meetings.
