About Annette
Annette Kauffroth, LCSW, helps people navigate anger, stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, and other life challenges. She brings a warm, direct style and focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Her background as an engineer shapes a clear, problem-solving approach to emotional struggles.
Annette balances acceptance with change. She uses grounded techniques to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try small experiments to shift them. Sessions aim to build skills for managing intense feelings, improving communication, and reconnecting with important values.
Background and approach
Her work draws from cognitive behavioral methods that look at thoughts and behaviors, and from acceptance-based practices that focus on values and mindful action. Attachment-based ideas help when past relationship patterns affect present life. She also uses dialectical skills for emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness.
Annette has 14 years of experience and holds a Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential (LCSW). She has led trauma-informed groups and has supported people through loss, addiction, mood disorders, and major life transitions. That group work informs how she structures shared skills and one-on-one sessions.
Sessions may include straightforward skill teaching, values clarification, and communication practice. Annette works with each person to set realistic goals and track small changes. Her aim is to combine empathy with concrete tools so people can feel steadier and more in control.
She offers therapy from Texas and provides services in English. International clients may be accepted depending on logistics and licensing. To begin, clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to availability.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking actions that match those values even when feelings are hard. It helps with anxiety, anger, and life transitions by teaching skills to notice thoughts and choose values-guided steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers concrete exercises to test and change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for depression, anxiety, and mood regulation. Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early relationship patterns show up now and guides work on improving connection and communication with others.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying techniques, reviewing what helps, and adapting the plan over time so sessions stay useful and relevant.
Online work can be very flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and practice of communication skills. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging support quick skill reminders, brief check-ins, and ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work and life schedules while keeping a steady focus on goals and skills.
