About Annette

Annette Kauffroth, LCSW, helps people manage anger alongside stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma, depression, and life changes. She aims to make therapy practical and understandable. Her background in engineering led her to a second career supporting people through hard moments. Annette brings warmth and empathy to sessions and focuses on clear tools you can use day to day.

She works from a few well known approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. In sessions she blends those methods with attachment-focused work to look at relationship patterns and core beliefs. That often means practicing mindfulness, noticing thoughts and emotions, and building skills for calmer responses.

Annette has 14 years of clinical experience and holds a Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential. She has led trauma-informed groups and values the healing that can come from telling your story in a respectful setting. Her engineering background shapes a practical, problem-solving style alongside empathic listening.

Sessions focus on concrete strategies - communication skills, emotion regulation tools, and value-based goal setting. She also helps people sort through grief, addiction concerns, parenting strain, and career stress. Annette accepts international clients and conducts work in English.

If you want straightforward guidance and calm support while you learn new ways to respond, she helps people balance acceptance with change. To begin, follow the site’s steps to request a match and schedule a session.

Approaches to online care and how they help

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps that match those values. It teaches simple practices for noticing thoughts and moving toward meaningful action when emotions like anger or anxiety are strong. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going. It offers concrete exercises for managing mood, anxiety, and stressful reactions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns show up now and helps people build healthier ways of relating and communicating.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That choice can shift over time as skills are learned and new priorities emerge.

Many people find online work helps fit therapy into busy days, allows shorter check-ins when needed, and removes travel time from appointments. Online counseling can make it easier to practice skills between sessions and to bring real-life situations into conversation during therapy.
