About Annette
Annette Kauffroth is an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Texas with 14 years of experience. She focuses on common household stresses like anxiety, parenting strain, relationship conflict, grief, trauma, and mood concerns. Annette also lists work with addictions, LGBT issues, intimacy-related concerns, and career questions.
She decided to move from engineering into social work to spend her career helping people with everyday problems. In sessions she balances acceptance and change, using straightforward tools to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Conversations include practical skills, values-based planning, and ways to shift unhelpful thought patterns.
Her approach draws on several methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to notice and revise thinking habits. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters and take small steps toward it. Attachment-based ideas are used to look at long-term relationship patterns.
Annette also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) strategies for emotion regulation and stress tolerance. She speaks English and works with adults facing midlife transitions, parenting pressures, and separation or divorce concerns. She lists experience with trauma-related problems and mood disorders.
Practical work in sessions includes role rehearsal for difficult conversations, grounding and breathing techniques for intense moments, and planning manageable behavior changes. To begin, visitors complete a short questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment so goals can be set and next steps agreed.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and remote sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small steps toward those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. It is useful for anxiety, life changes, and parenting stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current interactions and helps people understand and shift those patterns to improve closeness and communication.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Annette will discuss different methods and together decide which fits the client's needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration guides whether sessions emphasize skills, values work, or relational patterns.
The original biography does not specify which session formats are used for remote work, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, shorten travel time, and allow a quieter check-in during a lunch break or between commitments. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT, ACT, and DBT tools to remote sessions so practical exercises, values planning, and emotion regulation skills can be practiced between meetings.
