About Annette
Annette Goodyear is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Michigan who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and addiction-related concerns.
Background and approach
With eight years of clinical experience, she brings a direct yet compassionate style, aiming to understand each person's challenges without reducing them to labels. Annette's work often addresses trauma and abuse, grief and loss, intimacy and sexual concerns, and struggles with self-esteem and coping during life changes.
Her approach blends evidence-based strategies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing to create practical, individualized plans. She describes her manner as warm and interactive, tailoring conversations and treatment goals to the client’s needs while maintaining sensitivity and respect.
Annette also addresses issues like communication problems, codependency, blended family dynamics, and substance-related difficulties, supporting clients through both immediate symptoms and longer-term growth. Those who choose to work with her can expect collaborative sessions that aim to build skills, increase insight, and foster actionable steps toward healthier patterns.
She welcomes people seeking support for career stress, parenting challenges, recovery, and personal exploration of life purpose and self-love.
Online Approaches That Emphasize Skill Building and Mindfulness
Annette uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical coping strategies for anxiety, depression, panic attacks, and other distressing symptoms. Mindfulness Therapy is another element she uses to increase present-moment awareness, reduce reactivity to stress, and support emotional regulation in daily life. Motivational Interviewing complements these methods by helping clients explore ambivalence, strengthen motivation for change, and set achievable goals.Finding the right combination of approaches is a collaborative process. Annette works with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, then adjusts the therapeutic plan over time so techniques fit the client’s situation. This partnership helps ensure therapy targets what matters most to the individual while building practical skills and insight.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing people to engage in care around work, family, and other commitments. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, practice skills between sessions, and access support from a licensed professional without the need for travel.
