About Annette
Annette Kauffroth, LCSW, supports people coping with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, trauma, grief, and life changes. She also helps with issues such as addiction, intimacy concerns, parenting strain, and questions about identity and purpose. Annette writes plainly and aims to make therapy feel straightforward and useful.
She started her career as an engineer and later moved into social work to follow a desire to work directly with people. That different background shapes how she thinks about practical solutions and problem solving in therapy.
Background and approach
She draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early bonds affect current relationships and emotional responses. Her approach blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy ideas. Sessions often balance acceptance skills with concrete behavior changes, mindfulness practices, and work on core beliefs.
She uses a client-centered stance, meaning she follows each person's pace and priorities during sessions. Annette has 14 years of clinical experience and clinical work in Texas as an LCSW. She has also facilitated trauma-informed groups and values the healing that can come from sharing experiences safely.
She focuses on improving communication, managing intense emotions, and rebuilding trust in relationships. Therapy with her typically involves setting clear goals, practicing new coping skills between sessions, and checking what is and isn't working. She aims to bring warmth and practical tools so people can feel more grounded and move toward the changes they want.

Online support
Attachment and action-focused approaches online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship experiences shape current reactions and closeness in relationships. It helps people recognize patterns that keep them stuck and practice new ways of connecting. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches acceptance of difficult feelings while committing to actions that match personal values. It works well for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy and collaboration so the person leads the pace and direction of work, while the therapist offers support and reflection.Finding the right approach is often a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to goals, try methods that fit those needs, and adjust based on what proves helpful. Many clients try a mix of approaches over time to address symptoms and build skills that match their values and daily life.
Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule. Video calls let people work face to face when depth and nonverbal connection matter. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be a simpler way to check in. Live chat or text messaging can support brief check-ins, coping in the moment, or stepwise progress between longer sessions. These options provide flexibility for different routines and needs.
