Annette Goodyear, LPC

Annette Goodyear is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with more than eight years of experience working as a psychocounselor. She has supported people coping with a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, relationship struggles, parenting challenges, marriage difficulties, addiction, gender-related questions, and anger. She has also worked with many clients who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.

Her counseling style is warm, interactive, and grounded in respect and sensitivity. Annette emphasizes compassionate, nonjudgmental care and avoids stigmatizing labels while creating a space where clients can explore their thoughts and feelings. She adapts conversations and treatment plans to match each person's individual needs rather than applying one-size-fits-all methods.

Clinically, Annette draws on cognitive-behavioral techniques, person-centered principles, motivational interviewing, and rational-emotive strategies to help clients identify unhelpful patterns, build coping skills, and move toward meaningful change. She works collaboratively with clients to set goals and shape interventions around what matters most to them.

Recognizing that seeking help takes courage, Annette aims to support and empower people as they take steps toward a more fulfilling and satisfying life. She welcomes those who are ready to begin that process and looks forward to working together.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care

Annette uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is practical in addressing symptoms of anxiety, depression, and patterns that interfere with daily functioning. Mindfulness Therapy helps people bring nonjudgmental attention to the present moment, teaching awareness and skills to reduce reactivity and manage stress or overwhelming emotions. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented style that helps people clarify their motivation for change and resolve ambivalence, often useful for addiction, behavior change, and readiness-related concerns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Annette collaborates with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time as progress is made. This collaborative process helps shape a plan that feels personally relevant and achievable.

Online therapy with Annette is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to schedule care around work, family, and other commitments, and they allow licensed professionals to deliver consistent support from different locations.
