About Annette
Annette Kauffroth, LCSW, helps people manage stress and anxiety and find clearer ways forward. She focuses on immediate concerns like panic, worry, and mood shifts while also addressing relationship strain and grief. Her work aims to reduce symptoms and increase day-to-day functioning through practical steps and honest conversation.
She describes therapy as a balance between acceptance and change. Sessions begin with listening and understanding what matters most to the person sitting across from her.
Background and approach
From there she suggests small, doable practices to change thinking patterns and behavior while also honoring personal values. Annette draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and client-centered principles. That mix lets her match tools to the situation, whether it is working through trauma, improving communication, or coping with life transitions.
She also brings experience running trauma-informed groups and seeing how shared stories can aid recovery. Her background includes a career shift from engineering into social work, which informs a practical, problem-solving approach. She keeps language simple and uses exercises clients can use between sessions.
The goal is steady progress rather than instant fixes. Annette practices in Texas and holds a Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential. She works with people facing depression, addiction concerns, intimacy-related issues, parenting stress, and questions about life purpose.
Therapy emphasizes values, mindfulness, and rebuilding routines that support better mental health.
Therapeutic approaches tailored for online care
Annette commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is practical and often focuses on small, measurable steps to reduce anxiety, shift mood, or address habits.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify their values and take committed action even when uncomfortable feelings remain. ACT is useful for chronic worry, life transitions, and problems where avoidance gets in the way of living a meaningful life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences and then suggest techniques to try. That process is collaborative and can change as needs evolve during therapy.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and screen-sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions can fit a quick check-in or work better when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging let people use short updates and coaching during the week and can be easier to fit into a busy day.
