Dr. Annabel Fields, CA Psychologist PSY28382

Dr. Annabel Fields is a licensed clinical psychologist who brings nearly two decades of experience to her work with individuals facing a wide range of life challenges.

She holds a doctorate in Clinical Psychology from Widener University in Pennsylvania, awarded in 2008, and maintains licensure in Clinical Psychology in both California and Arizona. The California license is listed as CA Psychologist PSY28382, which reflects her standing as a practicing psychologist in that state. Her background includes work in multiple treatment settings, giving her experience with issues such as motivation, depression, anxiety, communication difficulties, anger management, and relationship concerns for people in monogamous or polyamorous partnerships as well as for LGBTQIA+ clients. She also addresses concerns related to transgender status and gender identity.

Dr. Fields’ approach is described as warm and inviting, with an emphasis on acceptance and respect for all individuals regardless of race, religion, gender identity, or sexual orientation. She collaborates with clients to create individualized treatment plans that support movement from current challenges toward personal goals, aiming for each person to feel seen, heard, and respected throughout therapy.

Evidence-Informed Approaches and Online Care

Dr. Annabel Fields commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in her practice. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people identify and adjust unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, and it is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and anger management. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a collaborative, nonjudgmental relationship in which the therapist supports the client’s own goals and self-directed growth, which can be especially helpful for issues of self-esteem, identity, and relational concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Fields works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts techniques as therapy progresses so treatment remains aligned with what the client finds most helpful.

Online therapy with Dr. Fields is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible access to care. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, connect from different locations within California, and continue work on coping skills and life changes without the need for travel. Licensed professionals can tailor remote sessions to focus on behavior change, emotional coping, communication, and other priorities identified by the client.
