About Annette
Dr. Annette Solomon is a Michigan psychologist with 21 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on concerns such as addiction, trauma, depression, anxiety, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, ADHD, and stress related to life transitions.
Dr. Solomon trained in clinical psychology and earned a doctorate from Wright State University School of Professional Psychology. She has worked with people facing chronic medical conditions, including HIV/AIDS and other long-term illnesses, and has experience collaborating with medical teams and veteran-serving services.
Her sessions focus on clear, practical conversations about what is happening now. She uses problem-focused strategies and motivational interviewing to support change. Cognitive-behavioral techniques are used to map thoughts and behaviors and try small experiments that can make life feel more manageable.
People meet to set concrete goals and track progress from session to session. Discussions can include coping with career and financial pressure, the strain of parenting or blended family dynamics, and managing sleep or anger problems. She also addresses issues like codependency, substance use, and chronic pain adjustments.
Dr. Solomon blends client-centered listening with evidence-informed tools so people can decide what to try. She documents plans and revisits them as needs shift. For young adults this can mean practical steps for starting a career, handling relationship transitions, or coping with feeling behind peers.
Approaches to work with online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a working relationship so clients can explore what matters most. It helps with decision points, identity questions, and feeling stuck. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and uses concrete exercises to change patterns. It can help with anxiety, depression, sleep, and managing impulsivity.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with clients to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaborative step includes checking what feels useful and adjusting plans as issues evolve.
The practical benefits of working online can include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and keeping continuity when life is changing. Because specific session formats are not listed in the biography, confirm the available online options before booking. Discussing what works best for your day-to-day life - for example shorter check-ins during a work break or camera-off conversations when that helps - is part of planning sessions together.
