Background and approach
Motivational Interviewing is used when someone wants to make a change but feels stuck or unsure how to begin. Sessions are collaborative. She tailors conversations and goals to each person’s needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.
The work often focuses on day-to-day strategies for managing anxiety, grief, cravings, or anger, plus communication techniques for relationship and family concerns. With eight years of experience, Annette draws on a range of clinical approaches while keeping sessions straightforward. She avoids stigmatizing labels and treats people with respect and compassion.
Annette practices in Michigan as an LPC and provides services in English. People who prefer flexible contact can choose from video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text messaging. If someone wants help setting achievable goals, managing emotions, or moving past an addiction or loss, she offers focused support and practical steps to try.
Therapeutic tools for online change
Annette uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes that reduce distress. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and for coping with life changes.She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple attention and breathing skills that lessen emotional overwhelm. Mindfulness can help with stress, grief, impulse control, and repetitive negative thinking.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level, adjusting techniques as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people work face-to-face from different places. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief updates, coaching-style work, or ongoing encouragement between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule care around work, parenting, or other commitments, while keeping the focus on practical strategies and steady progress.
