About Annette
Annette Goodyear is a Licensed Professional Counselor with eight years of experience helping people manage strong emotions and life challenges. She aims to create a respectful, compassionate space where clients can talk honestly about anger, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, and relationship strain. Her counseling style is warm and interactive.
Sessions focus on practical steps clients can try between meetings. Annette avoids stigmatizing labels and treats each person as an individual with their own goals and limits.
Background and approach
She uses straightforward tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. Mindfulness exercises are introduced to reduce reactivity and bring attention back to the present moment. Motivational interviewing helps when clients feel stuck or uncertain about change.
Annette has worked with people facing trauma and emotional abuse and with those dealing with parenting stress, blended family issues, or career shifts. She also supports people confronting codependency, addiction, impusivity, and intimacy-related concerns. In sessions she listens first, then offers options you can test in daily life.
Her goal is to help people build skills that reduce distress and improve relationships over time. If you want practical, respectful guidance for anger or other concerns, she offers a collaborative way forward.

Approaches Annette lists

How cognitive and mindful methods work online
Annette uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors in daily life. CBT sessions often include simple exercises and homework that can be discussed over video or messaging.Mindfulness therapy teaches short attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase emotional awareness. These practices are easy to learn in a remote session and can be reviewed and refined in follow-up contacts. Motivational interviewing is used when someone feels unsure about change; brief conversational strategies help clarify values and build momentum for small steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Annette will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences, and she revises the plan as needs change. This keeps therapy relevant and practical rather than one-size-fits-all.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and interactive coaching, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports quick check-ins, and messaging is useful for short reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
