About Annette

Annette OBryant is a Texas licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 12 years of experience helping people navigate a wide range of emotional and life challenges.

Background and approach

She combines practical strategies with a compassionate, client-centered stance to address issues such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, addictions, ADHD, and relationship or family concerns. Her practice emphasizes the whole person, attending to emotional patterns, coping skills, and communication dynamics that affect everyday functioning.

Annette draws on several evidence-informed methods, including cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, emotionally-focused work, and EMDR when appropriate, to tailor care to each person’s needs. She aims to support clients through midlife transitions, caregiver stress, eating and food-related concerns, codependency, and impulses or control issues while encouraging personal growth and resilience.

Located in Texas, she offers sessions in English and provides flexible online formats to fit varied schedules and lifestyles.

Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care

Annette uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering concrete tools for managing anxiety, depression, stress, and impulsivity. She also incorporates client-centered Therapy, which prioritizes empathic listening and collaboration so clients shape the pace and goals of their work. When trauma is a focus, elements of EMDR-informed work and mindfulness practices can be woven into sessions to address distressing memories and improve emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Annette will work with clients to explore which methods fit their needs and preferences, adjusting interventions over time based on progress and goals. This collaborative stance helps tailor treatment whether someone seeks symptom relief, improved coping, or deeper personal insight.

Online formats offer practical flexibility: video calls allow face-to-face connection, phone sessions can be more convenient for busy days, and live chat or text-based messaging provide ongoing support between appointments. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care around work, caregiving, or other commitments while accessing licensed professionals from a distance.
