Annette Church

Annette Church is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with two decades of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, and major life transitions. She approaches difficult moments with straightforward care and respects that change is often slow and uneven. Annette believes people trying to improve their lives should be met with encouragement rather than shame.

She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused ideas to shape sessions around each person's needs. Client-centered work is central to her style, which means she listens first and adapts methods to fit the person in front of her. She also brings experience supporting people facing aging or geriatric concerns, cancer, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and caregiving stress.

Sessions are collaborative and practical. Annette checks in regularly about progress and adjusts the plan when something isn’t helping. Treatment can address symptoms like panic attacks, sleeping problems, low self-esteem, anger, and mood shifts, while also working on life issues like career, parenting, or finding purpose.

Her background includes supervising other therapists and work as an independent substance abuse counselor, which informs how she approaches addiction and relapse concerns. Annette emphasizes respectful conversations that make room for a person’s values and faith when relevant.

People who choose her can expect clear goals, gentle accountability, and help building skills to manage day-to-day challenges. She aims to be a steady presence while clients practice changes that matter to them.

How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions

This therapist uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking and change behaviors that keep problems going. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and sleep problems and focuses on small, practical steps.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify what matters to them and take actions that match those values even when emotions are difficult. ACT can be useful for grief, chronic stress, and life transitions.

Finding the best approach is a joint process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, try methods that fit, and adjust the plan if something isn’t working. Clients are invited to give feedback so sessions stay useful and relevant.

The original profile does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy week, simplify travel, or offer shorter check-ins when time is limited. Many people find that talking regularly, even in different formats, helps them practice skills between sessions and keeps momentum toward their goals.
