About Annette
Dr. Annette Solomon welcomes people who are ready to make changes in their lives. She speaks plainly and listens closely to what matters most to each person.

In sessions she keeps the work practical. She uses motivational interviewing to clarify what a person wants to change and to build momentum. She also draws on cognitive behavioral methods to identify unhelpful thinking and develop clearer coping steps.
Her style is warm and strength-focused. People can expect to set specific goals and track small steps toward those goals. The emphasis is on what the person wants to accomplish and on skills that can be used between sessions.
Dr. Solomon also integrates mindfulness and existential ideas to help people find meaning and notice what matters in day-to-day life. She has experience supporting people with codependency concerns and a wide range of related issues such as caregiving stress, blended family challenges, and substance use. Practical coping and steady progress are central to her approach.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Dr. Solomon commonly uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy in her practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, understanding, and helping people identify their own goals; it is useful for relationship strains, low self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect, and it teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns.She also uses motivational interviewing to help people find motivation for change and to set achievable steps toward their goals. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about needs, goals, and preferences and help decide which methods to try first, adapting the plan as progress is made.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are listed by the therapist. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as keeping appointments during work breaks, avoiding travel time, or doing shorter check-ins when that works better. It can also support consistent follow-up and skill practice between meetings, while the therapist and client work together on clear, practical goals.
