About Annette
Annette OBryant is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 12 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and ADHD-related challenges. Her style is calm and direct, aimed at practical change rather than jargon.
She works with adults facing midlife shifts, workplace strain, caregiver stress, and other life transitions. Annette sets up sessions so clients can talk through painful memories and current problems at a pace that feels manageable.
Background and approach
She emphasizes clear communication and skills people can use between sessions. Her tools include problem-solving steps, breathing and mindfulness practices, and ways to change unhelpful thinking patterns. Trauma and abuse are areas she often addresses.
She uses methods intended to reduce the intensity of distressing memories and to rebuild a sense of safety and agency. She also helps with anger, impulsivity, and substance-related concerns by teaching grounding and coping strategies. When relationships and family tensions come up, she helps people sort communication patterns and set realistic boundaries.
She supports those dealing with caregiver burnout, blended-family stress, and the emotional aspects of aging. Work on self-esteem, guilt, forgiveness, and finding life purpose is common in her sessions. Sessions are offered in English and are available through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.
New clients begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first appointment. Payment uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people feel heard and can decide their next steps; it helps with self-esteem, life purpose, and processing emotions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect, and teaches practical steps to change thinking patterns that worsen anxiety, depression, or impulsive behavior. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, uses guided attention to reduce the emotional intensity of traumatic memories and can help those coping with past abuse or overwhelming events.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they will try methods and adjust the plan as progress is made or needs change.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is useful for deeper work and seeing nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging support quick reflections, brief coaching, or ongoing check-ins between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or mobility limits while maintaining consistent contact with a licensed professional.
