Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care
Annette uses a few evidence-based approaches that focus on clear tools and real-life practice. One approach helps people recognize and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can reduce anxiety and low mood by teaching practical coping steps. Another approach centers on improving attachment and relationship skills, helping people identify connection patterns and try healthier ways of relating.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their concerns, goals, and comfort level. The plan can change over time based on what helps most for symptoms like panic, social anxiety, or seasonal mood shifts.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a fuller interaction is helpful. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits your day. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for quick updates, homework check-ins, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives while keeping the focus on practical tools and steady progress.
