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, and struggles with self-esteem and mood concerns. Her practice also addresses relationship and family problems, grief, addiction, and challenges tied to life transitions.
Annette focuses on clear, practical work in sessions. She listens to what matters most and helps clients name patterns that keep them stuck. Conversations often include looking at thoughts and behaviors, noticing emotional responses, and trying small changes between sessions.
She uses several evidence-informed approaches to guide that work. Sessions may draw on client-centered ideas to center the person's perspective, cognitive behavioral techniques to test unhelpful thoughts, and mindfulness to increase present-moment awareness. She also incorporates emotionally-focused methods and EMDR when trauma processing is part of the plan.
Annette has particular experience with caregiver stress, blended family issues, and concerns that come up in midlife. She also supports people dealing with guilt and shame, forgiveness questions, codependency, and isolation. Those topics are treated as practical difficulties to talk through rather than labels.
Her style tends to be straightforward and collaborative. She will help set goals, track small changes, and adjust approaches if something is not helping. To begin, a prospective client completes a short questionnaire and schedules a session to see how the work will proceed.
How her approaches work in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy centers the client's own perspective and priorities. In practice this means sessions start with what feels most pressing to the person and the therapist checks in about goals and next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioral changes. It is often used for anxiety, depression, guilt, and patterns that repeat in relationships.Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss methods, try things that fit the client's goals, and adjust the plan if an approach is not helpful. Clients are involved in deciding whether more emotionally focused work, trauma processing, or skills-based work feels right.
The original profile does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Many people find that remote sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a workday or to check in during a transition period. Other practical benefits include shorter check-ins when time is limited, not needing travel time, and having flexibility around scheduling. The therapist will discuss logistics and session length when arranging the first meeting so sessions fit into everyday life.
