With 14 years of experience, Annette combines evidence-based therapeutic techniques with a relationship-centered style. She emphasizes collaboration and listens for each person's strengths and goals.
Background and approach
Sessions are shaped around what a person brings, not a one-size-fits-all plan. Annette often works with concerns tied to relationships and life transitions. That includes attachment and abandonment issues, blended family challenges, divorce and separation, and family of origin problems.
She also supports people coping with guilt, shame, questions of purpose, and midlife shifts. She has experience addressing trauma-related concerns such as post-traumatic stress, domestic violence, and issues common to first responders and military-connected people. Annette also helps those wanting to build self-esteem and self-love after painful events.
Annette practices in South Carolina as an LPC. She offers therapy in English and does not take international clients. People interested in starting the process use the Start Therapy button to complete a brief questionnaire and schedule based on the therapist's availability.
How evidence-based techniques guide online work
Annette uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques alongside a relationship-centered approach. One common method focuses on building skills to manage overwhelming feelings and daily stress, teaching practical steps people can try between sessions. Another approach centers on processing difficult experiences and their impact on current life, helping people make sense of painful memories and reduce their hold on daily functioning.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. Annette works together with each person to choose approaches that match their goals, history, and priorities, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made. That collaborative process helps people feel more involved in their care.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people continue care while managing work shifts, caregiving, or relocation, with the therapist and client agreeing on a setup that suits their routines.
