Background and approach
She pays attention to family dynamics and the ways past experiences affect current choices. This helps when people feel stuck, isolated, or overwhelmed. Annette draws on several approaches to tailor care to each person.
She often combines client-centered listening with cognitive-behavioral techniques and mindfulness practices. For people who carry trauma, she may include trauma-focused methods to address painful memories. People can expect a steady, collaborative process.
The sessions are aimed at small, manageable changes that add up over time. Annette helps clients set realistic goals and practice new skills between visits.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on a respectful, listening stance where the therapist follows the client's lead and helps them find their own solutions. This approach suits people who want a supportive space to talk through feelings and choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems down into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses clear exercises to shift unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping skills. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is a trauma-informed method that works with difficult memories and the reactions they trigger, and may be used when past events continue to cause distress.Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan over time based on progress and comfort level.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls make it possible to have in-depth conversations similar to in-person sessions. Phone sessions are useful if video isn't workable or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging allow for shorter check-ins, written reflection, and support between longer sessions. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules and different daily routines.
