Annette Church, LPC

Annette Church is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 20 years of clinical experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma, grief, and challenges related to relationships, self-esteem, parenting, work, and life transitions. She presents herself as a steady presence and treats clients with respect and without shame as they pursue change.

Annette uses a client-centered style. She adapts methods to fit each person rather than following a single recipe. In sessions she checks in on progress regularly and adjusts the work so it stays useful and practical.

Her toolbox includes cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused strategies. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to help people notice what matters and move toward it. These approaches are blended to match each person’s goals and pace.

Annette has experience supporting people with addictions and with mood disorders such as bipolar disorder and panic attacks. She also works with concerns that arise from aging, cancer, end-of-life care, and other major life stressors. Her approach aims to help people regain day-to-day functioning and clearer direction.

She practices in Arizona and conducts therapy in English. To begin, she asks clients to complete a short matching questionnaire so scheduling can reflect the best fit between needs and therapist availability. Annette approaches therapy as a partnership and offers straightforward, practical steps toward change.

How Annette’s approaches translate to online work

Annette uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus on each person’s priorities and pace, offering a listening, nonjudgmental stance that helps people name what matters most and set realistic goals. This approach is useful for concerns like relationship stress, self-esteem, and grief.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify unhelpful thinking and to practice new behaviors. CBT helps with anxiety, panic, mood challenges, and sleep problems by giving concrete tools for day-to-day coping.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify values and take small committed steps toward them. It’s often used for stress, chronic health worries, and coping with life changes where focusing on values can guide action.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences, try strategies in session, and adjust plans based on what feels most helpful. That collaborative process helps match methods to your needs rather than sticking to one fixed model.

The biography does not list specific remote session formats, so confirm available options before booking. In general, online counseling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce time spent traveling, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people choose a setup that suits their routine, such as audio-only for lower bandwidth or video when visual connection is helpful.
