Annette Church , LPC

Annette Church is a master's-level therapist and a licensed professional counselor (LPC) who brings a compassionate, client-centered style to her work. She values the idea that everyone is a work in progress and often serves as a supportive outside perspective that helps people create meaningful change in their lives. Annette approaches common human struggles - including stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and trauma - with respect and without shame, celebrating a person's efforts to improve their well-being.

Her clinical toolbox includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Informed Care, Solution-Focused Therapy, Mindfulness practices, Motivational Interviewing, Brief Therapy, and faith-based counseling. While she draws on these methods when appropriate, she prioritizes a client-centered approach and adapts interventions to fit each person's unique needs and goals. Annette also has experience supervising other therapists and checks in regularly during sessions to monitor progress and adjust the work as needed.

Annette views therapy as a collaborative process and considers it an honor to walk alongside people through challenging life transitions. She aims to create a respectful, goal-oriented environment where individuals can explore changes, build coping skills, and move toward greater balance and resilience.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support and Growth

Annette regularly uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the client's goals and values guide the work. This approach helps people who need an empathic environment to explore feelings, clarify priorities, and build self-directed change.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical method that examines the links between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. CBT is effective for addressing anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday challenges by teaching concrete skills for changing unhelpful patterns.

Mindfulness-based techniques are incorporated to help people become more present, reduce reactivity, and develop coping strategies for stress and emotional distress. These practices pair well with other methods and can support improved sleep, focus, and emotional regulation.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the collaborative process. Annette works with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made and new priorities emerge.

Online sessions via video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for busy schedules and for people who prefer remote care. These options make it easier to maintain consistency, access support from home, and choose the communication style that best suits an individual's comfort and lifestyle.
