About Annette
Annette Kauffroth is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, trauma, and problems with addiction. She works with people facing grief, parenting challenges, intimacy concerns, and shifts in career or life purpose. Annette aims to make sessions feel warm and straightforward so people can take the next practical step.
She began her professional life as an engineer before moving into social work. That background shaped a practical approach to therapy.
Background and approach
Annette blends listening with clear tools so conversations lead to action. She favors simple exercises that fit into busy days. Her work draws on several well-known approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy.
She also uses attachment-focused ideas to look at how relationships shape feelings and behavior. These methods guide short exercises, values work, and strategies for handling strong emotions. In sessions she balances acceptance with change.
That means noticing what’s working now and trying small shifts that match a person’s values. She often uses mindfulness, belief work, and communication coaching to help people feel steadier and more connected. Annette brings 14 years of clinical experience and holds a Texas LCSW credential.
She offers help in English and sees people living in Texas as well as international clients. Her style is practical, warm, and focused on steps people can use between sessions.

Online support
Approaches that guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small actions that reflect those values. It’s useful for anxiety, stress, and feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change patterns that keep problems going. It often helps with depression, anxiety, and mood regulation. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how relationships shape feelings and reactions, and it can help with communication problems, intimacy issues, and healing from past relational wounds.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals and daily life. That means trying tools, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together rather than following a fixed script.
Online therapy offers several flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people talk face-to-face when visual cues matter. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be a good fit for a quick check-in or when video isn't possible. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter conversations and written exercises that can fit into busy schedules. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
