About Annette
Annette Goodyear is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on practical help for parents feeling overwhelmed. She speaks plainly and compassionately to people worried about stress, anxiety, relationship problems, addiction, grief, or parenting strain. Her first aim is to make conversations feel useful and manageable right away.
She brings eight years of counseling experience and draws on approaches that encourage clear thinking and steady coping. Sessions focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts, building small daily practices, and setting realistic goals.
Background and approach
Annette uses evidence-informed tools to help people notice patterns and make changes that fit their life. Her style is warm and interactive. She avoids labels and centers respect, sensitivity, and compassion in sessions.
Dialog is tailored to each person so plans are practical and relevant to daily routines and parenting demands. Annette often combines cognitive behavioral techniques with mindfulness and motivational interviewing. That mix helps when someone is managing anxiety, recovering from trauma, addressing addictive behaviors, or rebuilding self-esteem.
The work can include skill-building, values clarification, and short-term behavior changes. Clients can expect straightforward check-ins and collaborative planning. Annette helps people track progress and adjust strategies as needed.
She works from Michigan and conducts sessions in English for those who want online options. For parents seeking clearer routines, calmer responses, or better communication, she offers a steady, practical approach. The focus is on small steps that add up to meaningful change over time.

How her approaches work for online parenting support
Annette uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT breaks problems into manageable parts and teaches simple skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and handle parenting triggers.She also uses mindfulness therapy to build present-moment awareness and calm. Mindfulness exercises can lower reactivity during stressful moments and help with coping after difficult events.
Motivational interviewing is part of her work when people want to make lasting changes. This approach focuses on personal values and small steps, which can be useful for addressing addictions, parenting habits, or lifestyle shifts.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will discuss goals, preferences, and daily realities to decide which methods to try first. Plans are adjusted based on what helps most in practice.
Online therapy gives practical flexibility for busy parents. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can fit a break at work, live chat offers quick check-ins, and text messaging supports short ongoing contact. These options make it easier to keep momentum and practice new skills between sessions.
