Background and approach
She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and create practical behavior changes. Mindfulness practices are used to anchor attention when emotions feel overwhelming. Over a long career in community and institutional settings, she has worked with many different life challenges, including trauma, addictions, bipolar disorder, and issues related to gender and sexuality.
She also supports people coping with cancer, fertility struggles, and post-traumatic stress. These experiences inform a flexible, down-to-earth style in sessions. Conversations with Antonette are direct but warm.
Parents often find the focus useful for navigating family tension and parenting stress. The work aims to build resilience and practical problem solving rather than quick fixes. Antonette holds a Florida LMFT - Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist.

Approaches and online options for parenting and life changes
Antonette often blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques to help people see which thoughts and actions keep problems going. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, building rapport, and following the client's lead to identify personal goals and strengths. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and gives concrete tools to change them, which can help with anxiety, depression, and parenting stress.She also uses mindfulness practices to bring attention back to the present moment and reduce reactivity when emotions run high. Together these approaches are picked to match what the person wants to work on; deciding which methods to use is a collaborative process between client and therapist based on needs and preferences.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule. Video is useful for deeper conversations and nonverbal cues, phone works when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can be helpful for brief check-ins and ongoing support between sessions. These options provide flexibility so people can get help in ways that suit their routines and comfort.
