Annette Church, LPC

Annette Church is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 20 years of experience supporting people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, and major life changes. She also has a focused interest in aging and geriatric issues, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and challenges related to cancer and chronic illness. Annette aims to offer steady support while people work toward clearer goals and better daily functioning.

She describes therapy as a collaborative process. Sessions center on what the client needs and prefer, not a one-size-fits-all program. Annette uses client-centered listening alongside practical tools to help people manage symptoms and make decisions that fit their values.

Her sessions draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy. These approaches are used to identify patterns, try small changes, and build coping skills for worry, mood shifts, and relationship strain. Progress is checked regularly so the work stays relevant.

Annette has experience supervising other clinicians and bringing practical structure to difficult topics like trauma, addiction, and grief. She emphasizes respect and a nonjudgmental stance so people can address hard feelings and regain a sense of control. She invites clients to set the pace and priorities for therapy.

Based in Arizona, she offers services in English. People who want to begin will complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on availability. The process is straightforward and guided from the start.

How these approaches work for online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions that align with their values despite difficult feelings. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior, and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It often helps with mood disorders, panic, and sleeping problems. Mindfulness Therapy adds simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm during stressful moments.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Annette will work with each person to see which methods fit their goals and preferences. She checks progress regularly and adjusts the plan so the work stays useful and focused on real life needs.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make fitting sessions into a busy week easier and can reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins if a quick update is needed, or phone-based conversations when video is not preferred. Licensed professionals adapt tools like ACT, CBT, and mindfulness to work over distance so clients can practice skills between meetings and apply them in daily routines.
