About Annette

Annette Church is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Arizona with 20 years of experience. She works with adults on common struggles like stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and anger. She also supports people facing life changes, career questions, parenting stresses, and mood challenges.

Annette frames therapy around the person in front of her. She uses a client-centered approach and checks in each session to make sure the work is helping. That means she adapts methods to what actually produces progress rather than following a single formula.

Her toolkit includes cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), solution-focused techniques, motivational interviewing, brief therapy, and faith-based counseling. She also notes experience with trauma-informed care and substance use concerns. These are used as practical strategies in conversation and skill-building exercises.

Sessions emphasize concrete steps and regular review of results. Annette says she values seeing measurable movement toward the client’s goals. She aims to help people reduce reactivity, rethink unhelpful behaviors, and build coping skills that fit everyday life.

With two decades of practice, she has also supervised other therapists. People who want a steady, straightforward approach to issues such as anger, addiction, sleep problems, or career stress may find her style a good match.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches and online session options

Annette uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change thinking patterns that lead to angry reactions. CBT focuses on identifying triggers, testing unhelpful thoughts, and practicing new behaviors to reduce reactivity.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice uncomfortable feelings without acting on them and to clarify what matters most. Mindfulness techniques are woven into sessions to build moment-to-moment awareness and reduce automatic responses.

Choosing which approach to emphasize is collaborative. She checks progress each session and adjusts methods based on the client's goals, preferences, and how they respond to exercises and skills practice.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists commonly adapt exercises and homework for remote sessions so the work can be integrated into everyday life.
