About Annette
Annette Church is an LPC with 20 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addiction concerns, grief, and life transitions. She describes therapy as a chance to grow with someone who listens and checks in each session to make sure progress is happening. She values a respectful, nonjudgmental approach and celebrates steps toward change.
Her style centers on the person in front of her. She uses a client-centered stance and blends practical tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness to address problematic thoughts and daily routines. Motivational Interviewing helps when people feel stuck or unsure about change, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports building values-based action despite difficult emotions.
Annette brings two decades of hands-on work with a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting stress, sleep problems, and career strain. She also lists additional focus areas such as hospice and end-of-life counseling, coping with natural or human-caused disaster, cancer-related issues, and aging and geriatric concerns.
She describes herself as someone who will check progress each session and adapt the approach to what is most helpful. Sessions may include goal setting, skill practice, and brief coaching to support daily changes. Faith-based perspectives are available when clients want them integrated.
Annette practices in Arizona and works in English. She notes that therapy is a journey and says it is an honor to be invited to share part of that path with someone seeking change.
How her therapeutic approaches fit online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice and accept difficult feelings while choosing actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and making life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily routines. It often helps with panic, mood disorders, sleep, and stress. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to talk through mixed feelings about change and to strengthen a person’s own reasons for taking the next step.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That process is collaborative and may involve trying different techniques and checking progress session by session.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Some people prefer audio-only conversations for lower bandwidth or simpler check-ins, while others like video for face-to-face interaction. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and Motivational Interviewing work to remote settings so clients can practice skills and track progress between sessions.
