About Annette
Annette Church is an LPC with 20 years of experience who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self esteem, depression, and life changes. She also supports people dealing with addiction, trauma, grief, sleep problems, anger, career concerns, and compassion fatigue. Annette writes plainly and aims to make therapy feel practical and understandable for someone juggling daily life.
Her style is client-centered. She starts by listening and asking what the person wants to change. Sessions focus on small, usable steps and on checking progress each week. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to help shift unhelpful thoughts and build new habits.
Annette also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Motivational Interviewing when those approaches fit a person's goals. She adapts techniques rather than following a single method. That means conversations, exercises, and homework are chosen to match the person in front of her.
With two decades of practice in Arizona, she brings experience with a broad range of concerns including relationship strain, parenting stress, bipolar mood concerns, and end-of-life topics such as hospice and grief counseling. Her approach emphasizes practical coping skills and steady forward movement.
To begin, she asks people to identify a concrete goal and then helps break that goal into small steps. Annette checks progress regularly and adjusts the plan as needed. Many people find this steady, straightforward approach helpful when tackling low self esteem and other challenges.
