Background and approach

Annette helps clients who feel isolated or who are questioning life purpose find clearer direction. In sessions she uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to teach coping skills and improve emotional habits. She focuses on practical steps clients can practice between sessions, such as communication exercises and strategies for managing panic or seasonal mood shifts.

Online support

How evidence-based care translates to online sessions

Annette uses practical, evidence-based techniques to help with anxiety and mood concerns. One common approach focuses on skills training to manage panic and overwhelming anxiety, teaching simple breathing, grounding, and step-by-step coping strategies that reduce intense symptoms. Another strand of her work addresses attachment and relationship patterns by helping people notice interaction habits, practice new ways of communicating, and set clearer boundaries to improve connection and reduce conflict.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. She will work with each client to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. That may mean trying a short skills-based plan first, then shifting toward deeper work on shame, guilt, or life purpose as trust grows and priorities change.

Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited travel options. Video calls allow for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit into a lunch break or be used when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to check in between sessions or to have shorter, more frequent touchpoints. These options help people keep momentum and make therapy fit their everyday life.
