Annette Church

Annette Church is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 20 years of experience offering calm, practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, anger, addictions, grief, and life changes. She welcomes conversations about relationship strain, self-esteem, sleep problems, parenting challenges, career decisions, and concerns like bipolar symptoms or panic attacks. Annette speaks English and works from Arizona.

Her style is straightforward and client-centered. She treats people as partners in the work and checks in each session to see if the approach is helping. Sessions focus on small, usable steps so clients can notice progress between meetings.

Annette uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy among other tools. She tailors those methods to what each person needs rather than following a single protocol. She also has experience with substance use concerns and supervising other therapists.

In sessions she often blends talk, practical exercises, and mindfulness practices. She aims to reduce shame and replace it with curiosity and forward movement. People leave with clearer coping strategies for anger, stress, or painful memories.

Her approach is collaborative and flexible. She helps clients set realistic goals, track progress, and adjust techniques as life changes. If someone wants support getting unstuck or managing strong emotions, she offers steady guidance and focused skill-building.

How her approaches translate to online work

Annette commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her practice. CBT helps identify unhelpful thought patterns and build new behaviors through practical exercises, which can be done in conversation and between sessions. ACT focuses on values and committed action, teaching people to notice painful thoughts while taking steps toward what matters, a useful fit for anger, depression, and life transitions.

She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which prioritizes listening, empathy, and working at the client’s pace. Choosing the best mix of methods is a shared process; the therapist checks in regularly and adjusts techniques to match a person’s goals and comfort level.

Confirm current online session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. The practical advantages of remote sessions include fitting therapy into a busy day, easier follow-up between appointments, and using shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Annette aims to make sessions useful and doable so clients can practice new skills in everyday life.
