About Annabel
Dr. Annabel Fields greets readers with a straightforward message: she helps people manage the symptoms that make daily life harder. As a California psychologist with 19 years of experience, she focuses on practical steps rather than labels.
She aims for a warm, accepting approach that respects each person’s identity and situation. She uses evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy to address problems like stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and addiction.
Background and approach
Mindfulness and solution-focused tools are included when they fit a person's needs. Sessions emphasize concrete skills and small, manageable changes. Dr.
Fields earned a doctorate in Clinical Psychology and holds a California psychologist license, listed as CA Psychologist PSY28382. Her background includes work in a range of treatment settings, which informs how she plans care for different challenges. She offers care tailored to people across diverse sexual orientations and gender identities.
Her practice pays attention to specific concerns such as trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy issues, caregiver strain, chronic illness, and first responder stress. She also addresses relationship and family-origin problems, communication and control issues, and concerns tied to kink and alternative sexual cultures. Sessions focus on collaboration.
The therapist and client set goals, try practical strategies, and adjust the plan as progress is seen. People leave with skills they can use between sessions to handle difficult emotions and situations more effectively.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and creating an accepting space. The therapist follows the client's lead, clarifies goals, and helps people feel understood so they can try new ways of coping.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It breaks big issues into smaller steps, teaches practical skills, and is often used for anxiety, depression, anger, and stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has helped in the past. Together they try methods and adjust the plan based on what is working for the client.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. Video can support face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and messaging are useful for short check-ins, skill practice, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and keep momentum between sessions.
