Annette Church , LPC

Annette Church is a master's-level Licensed Professional Counselor who brings two decades of clinical experience to her work. She approaches therapy with the belief that people are always evolving, and she welcomes the opportunity to support others through periods of change and growth. Her training and years in practice have also prepared her to supervise other therapists, reflecting a commitment to both clinical skill and professional development.

Annette recognizes that stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and trauma are common parts of the human experience, and she seeks to create a nonjudgmental environment where change is encouraged rather than shamed. Her clinical toolkit includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, trauma-informed care, solution-focused methods, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, brief therapy, and faith-based counseling. While she is skilled in many techniques, she prefers a client-centered stance and adapts her approach to what is most effective for each person.

Throughout the therapeutic process Annette checks in regularly to monitor progress and ensure the work remains helpful. She views joining a client's journey as an honor and offers collaborative, compassionate support aimed at practical improvements in daily life and relationships.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Therapy

Annette integrates several evidence-informed methods to support clients in an online format. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify their values and take purposeful action even when difficult thoughts or feelings arise - it is useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, respect, and collaboration, giving clients space to lead the pace of change while the therapist offers understanding and support - this approach helps with self-esteem, relationship concerns, and grief. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and panic.

Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Annette works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy with a licensed professional offers practical flexibility - sessions can be scheduled as video calls, by phone, or through live chat and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, maintain continuity during transitions, and access support from home or other convenient locations.
