About Annette
Annette Church is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Arizona with 20 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, and parenting challenges. Her style is warm and straightforward, aimed at practical progress rather than perfection.
She favors a client-centered way of working. That means sessions are shaped around each person's needs and goals. Annette combines gentle challenge with clear, actionable steps.
She checks in each meeting to see what is working and what needs to change.
Background and approach
Her background includes long experience with mood concerns, trauma and abuse, and relapse prevention. She also supports people facing life transitions like divorce, caregiving, cancer, and end-of-life issues. Annette brings experience with compassion fatigue and working through career and purpose questions.
Annette uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, mindfulness, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy. Those approaches help people build new habits, tolerate difficult feelings, and make values-based choices. Sessions may include practical exercises, behavioral experiments, and goal check-ins.
Clients can expect a respectful, hopeful atmosphere where progress is tracked and celebrated. Annette sees therapy as a partnership where the client’s experience guides the work. She invites people to try small changes and notice real differences over time.

How Annette’s Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on values and small actions that add meaning, which can help with anxiety, depression, and parenting stress.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It uses practical exercises and experiments to change habits and reduce symptoms like panic, low mood, or sleep problems.
Mindfulness practices teach simple ways to ground attention and reduce reactivity. These tools can be useful for stress, trauma-related symptoms, and compassion fatigue.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Annette will work with the client to match techniques to needs, goals, and personal preferences. She reviews progress regularly and adjusts the plan based on what helps most.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video works well for in-depth conversations and demonstrations, while phone calls can fit into a short break. Live chat or text messages are useful for quick check-ins, homework support, or when typing feels easier than talking. These options provide flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels.
