Approaches that guide online sessions

Annette uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques alongside a relationship-focused way of working. One common approach is trauma-informed work, which helps people name and manage reactions tied to past harm and learn practical skills for day-to-day regulation. Another common thread is treatment for anxiety and depression using structured, skills-oriented methods that focus on changing patterns of thinking and behavior to reduce symptoms and improve functioning. Deciding which approaches to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will review a client’s concerns, history, and goals and suggest methods that make sense together. Clients and the therapist check in regularly and adjust the plan if something isn’t working. If you prefer remote sessions, confirm the exact formats offered before booking since the biography does not list session types. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around work and family life, reduce commuting time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people meet without being on camera if that feels better, or choose video when visual connection helps the work.
