Annette Skeen, LPC

Annette Skeen, LPC, brings 14 years of counseling experience to people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, and life changes. She creates a welcoming space where clients can talk about hard things and feel heard. Her style aims to be collaborative and personal so people leave sessions with clearer next steps.

She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques alongside a relationship-centered approach. That means she draws on proven methods while prioritizing a respectful, steady connection with each person. Sessions focus on the client’s goals and on practical ways to manage symptoms like anxiety, depression, or post-traumatic stress.

Annette helps people navigate family and relationship challenges such as blended family issues, communication problems, divorce and separation, and family of origin concerns. She also supports those coping with abandonment, attachment wounds, guilt and shame, and questions about life purpose or midlife change.

Her practice includes work with first responders and veterans who are dealing with job-related stress, trauma, or the emotional aftermath of service. She addresses self-esteem and self-love alongside more acute struggles so people can build longer-term resilience.

Clients can expect straightforward conversations about what’s getting in the way and what might help. Annette explains options clearly and adjusts the plan as progress and priorities change.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Annette uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques alongside a relationship-focused approach. One approach focuses on practical skills and strategies to manage anxiety and depression, teaching breathing, grounding, and behavior-based steps to reduce distress. Another approach addresses trauma and post-traumatic stress by helping people process difficult memories and develop coping tools to handle triggers and intrusive thoughts.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. That plan can change as things improve or new priorities emerge.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce commute time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people keep regular momentum between in-person visits and work around work schedules or family responsibilities.
