About Annette
Annette Church is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Arizona with 20 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, self-esteem struggles, sleep problems, and the practical upheavals that come with life changes.
She uses a client-centered approach and checks in each session to see if progress is happening. Annette draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Mindfulness, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused methods as tools to help people move forward. She also brings experience with trauma and brief interventions when those fit the situation.
Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps. Conversations often include noticing unhelpful patterns, trying different behaviors, and practicing skills between sessions. Annette aims to adjust the work when something is not helping and to celebrate small changes along the way.
Her background includes supporting people with addiction-related concerns and working in settings that involved supervising other clinicians. That experience informs how she structures treatment and monitors progress over time.

Therapeutic approaches and how they shape online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small, committed steps toward them while learning to sit with difficult thoughts. It is often used for anxiety, low mood, and life change decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and sleep issues. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, collaboration, and adapting the pace to what the person needs, helping people feel heard and understood as they set goals.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Annette will help you decide which methods to try based on your goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. She checks in regularly to see if the approach is helping and adjusts the plan when needed so the sessions stay relevant and practical.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow short check-ins on a lunch break or after work. They also let people try techniques in the real-world settings where problems happen and then discuss what did or did not work in the next meeting.
