About Annette

Annette Church is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Arizona with 20 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma, relationship concerns, self-esteem problems, grief, sleep issues, and other life changes. Annette frames these struggles as common parts of being human and treats people without shame.

She uses a client-centered style that keeps the person at the center of the work. That means sessions focus on what matters to the individual and on practical steps that fit their life. Annette checks in regularly to see whether the work is helping and adjusts the approach as needed.

Her methods include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused techniques. She can draw on brief therapy and faith-informed approaches when they fit a client's preferences. The emphasis is on clear tools people can try between sessions.

Annette also has experience with addictions and substance-use concerns and has supervised other therapists during her career. She describes herself as someone who helps others make changes and looks for measurable progress rather than open-ended talk alone.

Clients can expect straightforward conversations about goals and small, actionable steps. Annette aims to help people manage symptoms, cope with life transitions, and build skills for dealing with panic, phobias, and mood challenges in everyday situations.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that align with their values. It can be helpful for worry, avoidance, and making decisions when anxiety gets in the way. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifiable thoughts and behaviors. It uses short exercises and homework to test unhelpful thinking and build new habits that reduce symptoms over time.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Annette collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, preferences, and everyday life. She routinely checks progress and adapts techniques so sessions focus on what is most useful for the client.

The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting appointments into a busy schedule and keeping therapy consistent during life transitions. If you plan to try online work, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are set by the therapist. Online sessions can make it easier to attend brief check-ins, focus on teaching new skills, or work through CBT exercises without commuting. Many people find that regular, shorter sessions help keep momentum while balancing work, family, and other obligations.
