Annette OBryant, LPC

Annette OBryant is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 12 years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical help for common struggles like anxiety, depression, stress, and traumatic memories. Annette writes straightforward goals with each person and keeps sessions focused on what can change now.

Clients come to her for many issues including relationship strain, parenting stress, grief, addiction, and challenges around self-esteem. She also supports people dealing with ADHD, bipolar mood shifts, anger, and eating concerns. Annette pays attention to how caregiving, blended families, and aging stressors affect everyday life.

Her work uses clear, evidence-based methods like cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to teach skills people can use between sessions. She also draws on client-centered approaches and emotionally focused ideas to help people feel heard and to improve connection in close relationships. For some trauma work she uses EMDR alongside other tools.

In sessions she listens first, then helps clients set small, doable steps. Conversations tend to be straightforward and collaborative. Annette helps people build coping strategies for stress, break patterns that cause pain, and practice new ways of managing emotions.

She serves adults in Texas and offers therapy by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Annette describes therapy as a team effort where the client’s goals guide each step and progress is measured in practical changes that matter day to day.

Approaches that translate to online care

CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress. It offers concrete tools and short exercises that are easy to practice between sessions.

Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening, validation, and working at the client's pace to build trust and self-understanding. This approach helps people feel heard and become clearer about their goals. Emotionally focused therapy looks at how emotions shape connections and helps people express needs more directly to improve important relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Annette will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide whether to emphasize CBT skills, emotional processing, mindfulness, or a blend that fits the person's situation.

Online therapy with Annette uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is helpful for face-to-face conversation and teaching skills, phone can be useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat or messaging work well for brief check-ins or when writing out thoughts helps. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to use tools in real time between sessions.
