About Annette
Annette Skeen is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with 14 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. She also pays attention to concerns such as abandonment and attachment issues, blended family challenges, communication problems, divorce and separation, and guilt and shame.
Her approach combines evidence-based therapeutic techniques with a relationship-centered manner. Sessions focus on clear, practical steps and honest conversation. She aims to help people make sense of painful feelings and learn ways to cope in their day-to-day lives.
In sessions she listens for patterns that keep people stuck, then offers strategies that can change those patterns. That may include working on how attachments formed in families affect current relationships. It can also mean addressing trauma responses and shifting harmful self-talk related to guilt and shame.
When life changes hit - a separation, a career shift, or questions about purpose - she helps people weigh options and practice new behaviors. For people with a history of domestic violence or first responder and veteran concerns, she brings sustained attention to the impact of those experiences.
Her work is practical and relational. She invites straightforward goals and regular check-ins on progress. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to see how the approach fits their needs.
How therapeutic methods translate to online sessions
Annette uses evidence-based techniques alongside a relationship-focused stance. One approach emphasizes understanding and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors; it helps when anxiety, low self-esteem, or repetitive guilt hold someone back. Another approach concentrates on processing trauma and its effects, helping people recognize how past events influence current reactions and relationships.Choosing which approach fits best is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals, life context, and how symptoms show up, then pick methods to try and adjust them as work proceeds. Regular check-ins help determine whether a different technique would be more useful.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example by removing commute time, allowing shorter check-ins on a work break, or avoiding the need to be on camera when that feels difficult. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and pacing to suit remote sessions so work continues between meetings.
