About Annette
Annette Church is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with two decades of clinical work. She focuses on stress and anxiety along with depression, addictions, trauma, grief, and relationship concerns. Her approach centers on helping people make practical changes that improve daily life.
She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try new behaviors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas help clients clarify values and take small steps toward them.
Background and approach
Motivational Interviewing supports people who feel stuck or ambivalent about change. Annette favors a client-centered style. That means sessions are shaped around each person’s goals and pace.
She checks in regularly to see whether the work feels useful and adjusts plans when needed. Over the years she has also worked with people facing life transitions, parenting strain, sleep problems, anger, career shifts, and issues linked to chronic illness and aging. She sees grief, intimacy worries, and compassion fatigue among common concerns she addresses.
Sessions can include short-term problem solving or longer work on patterns that keep causing stress. Annette aims to offer concrete strategies, simple experiments to try between sessions, and steady support while people practice new ways of coping. She practices in Arizona and conducts therapy in English.
With two decades of experience she brings practical focus and a steady presence to the therapeutic relationship.
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Annette often draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness-based strategies to work with anxiety and mood challenges. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioral changes to reduce symptoms. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve daily coping.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to help people clarify what matters most to them and take values-based action even when anxiety or difficult emotions are present. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which approach, or blend of approaches, fits their goals and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video sessions let you work face to face from wherever you are. Phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief updates, coaching-style check-ins, or when writing feels more comfortable than speaking. These options make it easier to keep regular momentum while juggling work, family, and other responsibilities.
