How her approaches work in online therapy
Annette uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT often involves setting small goals, trying new responses, and practicing skills between sessions to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms.She also incorporates mindfulness therapy to help people stay grounded in the present moment. Mindfulness exercises teach attention to breath, body sensations, and thoughts so strong emotions become easier to manage during stressful situations.
Motivational interviewing is used when someone feels stuck or unsure about change. This approach focuses on exploring personal values, resolving ambivalence, and building motivation for steps like reducing substance use or repairing relationships.
Annette views finding the right approach as a team effort. She will discuss your goals and preferences, try different tools, and adjust methods based on what feels most helpful. The plan evolves with progress and feedback so it fits your life.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Video lets you work face to face for deeper conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for quicker check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing coaching and brief updates. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule and to use the format that best matches your needs.
