About Annette
Annette Warner is a LICSW - Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker - with 22 years of clinical experience based in Minnesota. She has worked across child, family, and adult settings and lists anger among the concerns she helps people manage. Her practice also covers stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting, depression, ADHD, grief, sleep problems, relationship and family difficulties, and a range of mood and obsessive concerns.
She has long experience supporting people who have experienced trauma and those facing complex mental health needs. That background includes work with students, foster care roles, and adults with persistent mental health challenges. Annette draws on trauma-focused methods alongside cognitive behavioral and mindfulness approaches to guide her work.
In sessions she uses straightforward, practical methods to help people notice patterns, try different responses, and practice new skills between meetings. Conversations often focus on what gets in the way of calmer reactions and on simple strategies to reduce reactivity and rebuild trust in relationships.
She also pays attention to parenting stresses and family problems that can feed anger and overwhelm. For people who have experienced abandonment, attachment issues, or adoption and foster care challenges, she brings relevant experience to those topics.
Annette works in English from Minnesota and holds the LICSW credential. Her background includes supporting people with bipolar disorder, dissociation, intellectual disability, OCD, panic, and related concerns. To start she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Annette commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Client-Centered Therapy means the conversation centers on the person and their priorities, giving room to talk through challenging moments and decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, then practicing alternatives that change how someone reacts to triggers.Picking the right approach is part of the process. She works together with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative decision can shift over time as practical strategies are tried and adjusted.
The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy into a busy life and making it easier to keep regular meetings. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm the available options before booking. Discussing what works best - shorter check-ins, fewer video requirements, or longer focused sessions - is part of setting up a plan that fits day-to-day routines.
