About Annette

Annette Church is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with two decades of clinical experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, addictions, trauma, and other life challenges. She approaches therapy from a client-centered stance, pairing practical strategies with an emphasis on each person's strengths and goals.

Background and approach

Annette maintains a broad toolkit that includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused techniques to tailor care to what matters most to the individual. She values collaboration and checks in regularly to track progress and adjust treatment as needed.

Annette also brings experience working with concerns such as grief, intimacy-related issues, sleep difficulties, parenting and career stress, mood disorders, and end-of-life or serious illness counseling. Based in Arizona, she offers flexible session options and supports people who are ready to make changes without judgment, treating the desire for growth as something to be celebrated rather than shamed.

Using evidence-based approaches in online care

Annette integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) into her online practice. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, and panic, offering concrete skills for daily coping. ACT emphasizes values and committed action, helping people accept difficult emotions while building a meaningful life in alignment with what matters to them.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and is done collaboratively. Annette works with clients to clarify goals, assess what methods feel most relevant, and adjust techniques over time so the work stays practical and personally meaningful.

Online therapy with her is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing sessions to fit into busy schedules and different life circumstances. These options make it easier to access consistent support from a licensed professional while maintaining flexibility in how and when people connect.
