About Annette
Annette Church is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor based in Arizona with 20 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma, parenting challenges, grief, and relationship concerns. She also lists a range of related focuses such as bipolar disorder, postpartum depression, and caregiving and end-of-life issues.
She describes herself as a master-level clinician who has supervised other therapists. Her practice centers on a client-centered way of working. That means she begins by listening to what the person wants to change, then matches methods to those goals rather than following a fixed script.
Her toolkit includes cognitive behavioral techniques, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused ideas. She also notes experience with trauma-informed care and brief, faith-informed approaches when clients want them. Sessions include regular check-ins so progress and usefulness are reviewed together.
Annette emphasizes practical supports for everyday problems: sleep struggles, coping with life changes, anger, career stress, and parenting strain. She frames addictive behavior and compassion fatigue as understandable responses to pressure, and she works with clients on concrete steps to reduce harm and rebuild routines.
People who choose her can expect straightforward conversations about goals and clear follow-up on what is working. She asks clients to be active partners in planning each session and adjusting the work as needed.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small, values-based steps. It can help with anxiety, low mood, and motivation by changing how someone responds to difficult thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and then tests small changes. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and panic symptoms. Mindfulness work teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus; it is useful for stress, anger, and coping with grief.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that fit the person's goals and daily life. She checks in each session to see what is helping and adjusts the plan based on those conversations so the approach evolves as needed.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Many people find remote sessions useful because they can fit appointments into a busy week, cut travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Therapists generally adapt ACT, CBT, and mindfulness exercises for remote sessions so practical skill-building can continue without shifting life routines.
