Evidence-based care and flexible online sessions
Annette uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and coping skills. One common approach helps people break large problems into small, manageable steps so they can practice different ways of responding between sessions. Another method emphasizes strengthening personal resources and self-esteem through achievable goals and regular check-ins to track progress.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist listens to your goals and concerns, then suggests techniques that fit your situation and preferences. Together you review what works and adjust the plan as needed so the therapy method stays useful and relevant.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits for busy lives. Video calls let you have focused conversations with visual contact. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when seeing a screen is difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging provide brief check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, caregiving, or other commitments while still getting regular help.
