Online support

Evidence-based methods and flexible online care

Annette uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional processing. One common method she applies helps people organize their thoughts and daily routines to reduce overwhelm and build confidence; this approach is useful for parenting challenges, motivation, and money-related stress. Another method centers on guided conversations to process grief and loss, helping people name what they feel and find manageable ways to carry on after major life events.

Finding the best approach is part of the work together. She collaborates with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences. That might mean trying a conversational style for a few weeks, then adding targeted exercises to practice between sessions.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. Video allows face-to-face interaction for deeper conversation, phone can work well when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat can support quick check-ins or ongoing reflection. These options make it easier to get regular support while juggling work, caregiving, or other responsibilities.
