About Antonette
Over a long career, Antonette has worked across community and institutional settings. That background exposed her to many life circumstances and varied emotional challenges. She uses a client-centered stance that puts the person's own knowledge of their life first. Sessions often start by listening closely to what matters most to the person and setting small, achievable goals.
She also integrates techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to help change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Mindfulness practices are used to reduce reactivity and improve moment-to-moment coping. Elements of existential and Jungian approaches may be included to explore meaning, identity, and deeper personal themes when those topics feel relevant.
Antonette supports people dealing with grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, bipolar concerns, and challenges related to parenting, intimacy, and self-esteem. Additional areas of focus include fertility concerns, cancer-related stress, gender dysphoria, and post-traumatic stress. She aims to help people build resilience and practical problem-solving skills.
Her stated goal is to help people find personal strengths that lead to long-term growth. The work is collaborative: she listens, reflects, and suggests strategies you can try between sessions. To begin, follow the site's steps to connect and schedule time to talk.
How Antonette’s Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy is about listening first. The therapist helps people name their priorities and builds sessions around what matters most. This approach is useful for people who want a supportive space to sort things out and set personal goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It offers simple exercises to test unhelpful beliefs and change behaviors that get in the way. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management.
Mindfulness practices help slow things down and notice what is happening in the moment. These techniques can reduce reactivity, ease overwhelm, and improve coping with strong emotions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the early work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process can include trying different techniques and adjusting as progress is made.
