Annette Burleigh is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Oklahoma with 30 years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people navigate family concerns, grief and loss, parenting stress, self-esteem, and major life changes.

She approaches sessions with respect for each person's story and strengths. Annette listens for practical patterns that get in the way and helps people try small, manageable steps to shift those patterns. She offers support for adoption and foster care concerns, blended family issues, caregiver strain, and money or financial stress when these tie into family relationships and life transitions.
Annette also supports people facing end-of-life care, hospice concerns, fertility and reproductive stresses, and challenges that come with aging. She helps with midlife transitions and young adult life-stage issues, too. Her experience includes assisting people after disasters and other sudden community disruptions, focusing on coping strategies and rebuilding routines.
Sessions are conducted in English, and she accepts international clients. Cost varies with location and therapist availability, and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a person selects the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules according to therapist availability.
Annette aims to make the early steps straightforward. She acknowledges the courage it takes to start, listens closely, and works with each person to find practical next steps that fit their life and goals.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Annette uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical change and coping. One approach she commonly uses helps people identify small behavior changes and new routines to reduce stress and improve daily functioning; this is useful for parenting struggles, caregiver stress, and rebuilding after disruptions. Another approach emphasizes exploring grief and loss through steady support and structured conversation, helping people make sense of difficult emotions and find ways to carry on.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Annette collaborates with each person to choose techniques that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She listens to what is most important, then experiments with methods and adjusts as progress and feedback indicate what is most helpful.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session options before booking so they fit your routine. Practical benefits often include easier scheduling around work or caregiving, shorter check-ins when time is limited, and fewer interruptions from travel. Online sessions can help people keep continuity of care when life circumstances change and make it simpler to attend regular appointments.
