About Annette
Annette OBryant is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 12 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addictions, and life changes including midlife concerns and questions about life purpose. She also supports people dealing with parenting strain, relationship and family problems, and issues such as ADHD, anger, and low self-esteem.
Her style centers on listening closely and helping people find concrete ways to cope. Sessions focus on practical skills for managing strong emotions, improving communication, and handling everyday pressures. Annette uses a mix of evidence-informed methods rather than a single fixed technique.
She draws on client-centered practices to follow what matters most to each person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. For trauma-related concerns she integrates EMDR and mindfulness techniques when appropriate to reduce distressing symptoms.
People meet with her to work through family conflict, caregiver stress, eating and food-related issues, and the fallout of difficult life events. She also supports those coping with impulsivity, codependency, isolation, and guilt or shame. Her background includes working with adults navigating workplace strain and blended family dynamics.
Annette describes therapy as collaborative problem solving. Early sessions typically focus on understanding immediate needs and trying practical strategies. Over time she helps clients build skills for clearer decision making and steadier emotional regulation.
How her therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s priorities. In practice this means the therapist reflects what matters most, asks clarifying questions, and helps clients set small, workable goals that fit day-to-day life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) emphasizes identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Online sessions can include brief exercises, thought records, and behavior experiments that clients try between meetings to test what changes help reduce anxiety or improve mood.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used when trauma memories cause distress. In an online setting EMDR involves guided pacing, grounding techniques, and structured processing adapted to the video or phone context to help reduce the intensity of traumatic reactions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and together with the client decide which methods to try first, adjusting as goals and needs become clearer. This collaborative process helps match strategies to what a person wants to address.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find this helps maintain consistency while they test changes between meetings.
