About Annette
Annette Church is an LPC with 20 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, sleep problems, addictions, grief, and difficult life changes. She sees distress from trauma, relationship strain, parenting, career shifts, and mood challenges as common parts of life.

Her approach centers on the client.

Sessions focus on clear goals, practical steps, and checking in about progress each week.
Annette describes herself as someone who enjoys being available to others during hard transitions. She brings methods that target thoughts and behaviors, build skills for coping, and strengthen motivation to change. She also includes brief, focused work and faith-informed perspectives when clients want them.

Annette practices in Arizona as a Licensed Professional Counselor. She works in English and has experience supervising other therapists. To begin, she asks clients to share goals so sessions can be tailored to what matters most to them.
How her approaches translate to online work
Annette commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her work. CBT helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going, which can help with anxiety, sleep issues, and mood. ACT focuses on values and committed action, helping people live a meaningful life alongside difficult feelings.She also uses mindfulness techniques to build present-moment awareness and Motivational Interviewing to strengthen a person’s own reasons for change. These methods aim to teach simple practices and short exercises that can be used between sessions to support better sleep, reduced worry, and clearer priorities.
Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust work based on what helps most. Clients are invited to give feedback so sessions stay focused and practical.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or reduce travel time. Those practical benefits can help people sustain regular work on sleep, stress, and day-to-day coping.
