Therapeutic approaches that work online
Annette commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness techniques to address anxiety and stress. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people identify unhelpful thought patterns and try new behaviors to test what works.

This approach focuses on listening, drawing out a persons own reasons for change, and building small, achievable steps.

Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging makes therapy more flexible. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and full sessions, phone calls can be easier when video is not practical, and chat or messaging help keep a brief check-in or work through ideas between longer sessions. These options let people fit therapy into busy schedules and different life situations while working with a licensed professional.
