Annette Kauffroth , LCSW

Annette Kauffroth moved from a career in engineering into clinical social work out of a long-standing desire to work directly with people and their challenges. She creates a calm, respectful space where acceptance and change are held together as complementary paths to growth, echoing Carl Rogers observation that "the curious paradox is that when I accept myself as I am, then I change."

She brings warmth and empathy to each encounter while offering practical tools for change. Her approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Internal Family Systems to tailor work that meets individuals where they are and helps them move toward where they want to go.

Annette has experience facilitating trauma-informed groups and values the healing potential of sharing one’s story in a supportive setting. She is also experienced in couples work, focusing on improving communication and rebuilding emotional intimacy. Therapeutic work often includes mindfulness practices, exploration of core beliefs, examination of life narratives, and attention to personal values. Annette holds the LCSW credential, which stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker and indicates specialized training and authorization to provide clinical therapy.

Could Online Therapy Be a Good Fit?

Many people wonder whether online therapy can make a meaningful difference. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life transitions, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions.

One of the main benefits is flexibility. Clients can connect with therapists in the format that works best for them - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging - which can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.

All participating therapists are licensed professionals, and individuals may switch therapists at any time if a different fit is desired. Online therapy offers an accessible way to work with skilled providers using a range of communication options.
