About Annette
Annette Kauffroth, LCSW, helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship and intimacy concerns, and life transitions. She also supports those dealing with grief, addictions, parenting strains, career questions, and questions about identity and purpose.

Background and approach
Annette aims to meet each person where they are and to help them move toward clearer choices and more manageable days. Her background includes 14 years of clinical experience and a prior career in engineering. That path shaped her interest in both practical problem solving and human meaning.
She leans on multiple approaches to fit each person’s needs rather than using one single method. In sessions she may work on communication skills, attachment patterns, core beliefs, and daily habits that feed mood and stress. For trauma and post-traumatic stress she draws on trauma-informed practices and group work experience to support healing through telling one’s story and building safety around memories.
People find her style warm and direct with an emphasis on values and purpose. She uses techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Existential Therapy to help people clarify goals and try small changes that add up. Annette practices in Texas and conducts sessions in English.
She works with adults facing a broad range of life and mood challenges and focuses on helping each person craft meaningful next steps.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Existential Therapy looks at the big questions people face about meaning, choice, and responsibility and helps when life feels confusing or empty. It invites reflection on values and how to live in line with what matters. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, combines acceptance and mindfulness with clear values-based action to reduce suffering and increase committed steps toward goals. Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early patterns of relating affect current connections and communication, helping people change how they form and maintain relationships.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to try methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions often adapt over time as people try tools and notice what helps. The style is exploratory and practical, with agreement about what to focus on at each stage.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls work well for in-depth conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is an issue. Live chat and text messaging are handy for brief check-ins, skill coaching, and ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family, and travel.
