Dr. Annette Solomon

Dr. Annette Solomon welcomes people who are ready to address strong feelings and stressful life changes. She focuses on practical steps that reduce overwhelm and help people regain control. Her approach is warm and strength-based, with an emphasis on helping people make steady changes in daily life.

Solomon holds a doctorate in clinical psychology from Wright State University School of Professional Psychology and is listed as MI Psychologist 6301013313. She brings more than 21 years of experience in clinical practice and training. Much of her work has involved supporting people coping with medical conditions, addictions, trauma, and grief.

In sessions she draws on client-centered methods to follow what matters most to each person. Cognitive behavioral ideas are used to spot unhelpful thoughts and try small experiments to change behavior. Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or ambivalent about making changes.

Her background includes work with diverse medical teams and experience supporting people with chronic illness and HIV/AIDS. That experience informs a practical, problem-focused style that aims to connect emotional concerns with everyday routines and health needs.

People can expect a collaborative process that starts with clear goals and simple steps. Progress is reviewed regularly and plans are adjusted to fit changing needs. Those seeking help for anger, stress, addiction, relationship strain, or major life transitions may find this approach straightforward and grounded.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s priorities and values. It gives space for someone to say what matters most and for the therapist to follow that lead, which helps when sorting out anger or relationship strain.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify patterns of thinking that feed strong emotions and then tests new behaviors in everyday life. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and anger by breaking problems into manageable steps.

Motivational Interviewing supports people who feel stuck or unsure about change. It uses short conversations to clarify reasons for change and to build momentum toward goals like reducing substance use or improving communication.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins, or reduce travel time. It can also allow sessions from a quieter spot when that helps concentration and gives more opportunities to keep consistent appointments.
