Dr. Annabel Fields

Dr. Annabel Fields welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by anger, stress, or life changes and want practical ways to feel steadier day to day. She is a California psychologist with 19 years of experience and a straightforward, warm approach. Her aim is to help people manage symptoms that get in the way of daily life rather than focusing only on diagnostic labels.

She uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy to build skills that make a difference in how people handle strong emotions. Mindfulness and solution-focused techniques are added when they fit the person's goals. Sessions are collaborative and geared toward small, achievable changes that build over time.

Dr. Fields trained in clinical psychology and earned her doctorate in 2008. That background includes work in a range of treatment settings, which exposed her to many issues such as anxiety, depression, anger, addictions, and trauma. She has also supported people navigating gender identity, relationship structures, and caregiving stress.

Her style is warm and accepting, and she emphasizes respect for each person's identity and experience. People can expect to work together to create a plan that addresses immediate concerns and long-term goals. Progress is measured by better daily functioning and clearer coping strategies.

Dr. Fields practices in California as a CA Psychologist, PSY28382, and works in English. Before booking, clients should confirm the current session options and scheduling details through the platform's process.

How these approaches fit into online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship. The therapist follows the person's lead, reflects concerns, and helps clarify goals. This approach is useful for people who want a supportive space to talk through anger, identity questions, or relationship stress.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical tools for changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Sessions often include skill practice, simple experiments, and step-by-step plans to manage anxiety, anger, or low mood. CBT is helpful for people who want concrete strategies to use between meetings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can shift over time as progress is made and new issues come up.

Confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing appointments from familiar surroundings. It can also support shorter check-ins, weekday evening slots, or appointments that better align with work and caregiving schedules.
