About Annette
Annette OBryant is a licensed professional counselor who brings 12 years of clinical experience to her work in Texas. She focuses on helping people who are overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, and parenting concerns. Annette meets each person with a steady, compassionate approach and practical steps for moving forward.
She creates a calm space where clients can talk through difficult memories and current struggles. Sessions often focus on improving communication, managing intense emotions like anger, and building everyday coping skills.
Background and approach
She also helps people dealing with addiction, grief, and the ups and downs of midlife. Annette uses a mix of methods that match each person's needs. That might mean exploring the story someone tells about themselves, learning new ways to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, or practicing mindfulness to reduce reactivity.
She tailors her approach rather than relying on a single technique. Parents who feel stuck by shame, guilt, or isolation can find focused support for practical parenting challenges and stress. She also works with caregivers, people facing blended family dynamics, and those coping with aging-related concerns.
Annette aims to help clients regain energy and clearer priorities. In sessions she moves at a client's pace and focuses on small, doable changes. The goal is steady progress you can notice between meetings, not quick fixes.
People who want an empathetic, solution-focused therapist often find her style helpful.

Approaches that guide online work
Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and building a trusting relationship. It helps people feel heard and encourages self-direction in solving problems and finding priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress related to parenting or life changes.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will discuss options, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. Clients are involved in choosing goals and deciding which methods fit their pace and values.
Online formats offer flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people use visual cues and have deeper conversations. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth or screen time is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging can be a shorter check-in or a way to get support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy parenting schedules and changing routines.
