About Annette
Annette Skeen is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in South Carolina with 14 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. Annette also focuses on issues like abandonment, attachment challenges, blended family concerns, and communication problems.
Her sessions combine evidence-based therapeutic techniques with a relationship-focused style. She emphasizes practical conversation and clear goals. People meet to talk through current problems and build skills for handling them day to day.
Annette pays attention to how past relationships affect present choices. That often includes looking at family of origin issues, divorce and separation, and experiences of domestic violence. She also works with first responders and veterans on trauma-related concerns.
Conversations often target symptoms and patterns that get in the way of daily life. That might include managing panic or worry, working through grief and shame, or rebuilding self-regard after hard experiences. Sessions aim to make problems clearer and to identify workable steps forward.
Her practice treats therapy as a collaborative effort. Annette prefers an open, straightforward approach where goals are set together and progress is checked over time. To begin, prospective clients use the service matching tool and schedule an initial session.
Practical approaches and how online sessions work
Annette blends evidence-based therapeutic techniques with a relationship-centered way of working. One common approach she uses focuses on addressing trauma-related symptoms through structured, skill-based work that helps people manage flashbacks, hypervigilance, and post-traumatic stress reactions. Another approach emphasizes cognitive and behavioral strategies to reduce anxiety and depression by identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors in daily life.Choosing which techniques to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will help assess your goals, symptoms, and preferences, and then suggest approaches that fit your situation. You and the therapist check in over time to see what is helping and make changes as needed.
Practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy around work or study and reducing travel time. Because session formats were not specified in the biography, confirm the available session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to schedule regular check-ins, maintain progress between appointments, and try shorter or longer sessions depending on needs.
