About Annette
Annette Burleigh is a licensed clinical social worker with thirty years of professional experience. She focuses on family and parenting concerns, grief and loss, self-esteem, and adapting to life changes. Annette speaks plainly and encourages clients to use their existing strengths.
She affirms that deciding to seek help takes courage and offers steady support through the process. Annette draws on long experience helping people manage family conflicts and navigate parenting challenges.
Background and approach
She also assists those facing grief, end-of-life care questions, and the transitions that come with aging or major life events. Her work often covers practical problems like money stress, caregiver strain, and blended family dynamics. In sessions she centers the client’s knowledge of their own life while offering guidance and tools to move forward.
Annette has supported people through adoption and foster care issues, fertility and hospice concerns, and recovery after natural or human-caused disasters. She helps clients build confidence, address motivation, and handle midlife and young adult transitions. Annette practices in Oklahoma and communicates in English.
Her credential is LCSW, which stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker. After an initial conversation she collaborates with each person to shape a plan that fits their goals and circumstances. For those ready to begin, she recommends starting with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session to discuss immediate priorities and next steps.
Practical approaches for families and life changes
Annette commonly uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear goals and everyday skills. One approach emphasizes teaching practical coping skills for stress, grief, and major life transitions so people can manage emotions and routines more effectively. Another approach helps people identify strengths and shift unhelpful patterns in family interaction, with an emphasis on concrete changes in communication and problem solving.Choosing the right approach happens together. Annette listens to each person’s situation, discusses options in simple terms, and tailors techniques to match goals and preferences. She works collaboratively to try methods that feel useful and adjusts them over time based on what helps most.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy family lives. Video calls let conversations feel closer to in-person work, while phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging provide quicker check-ins and ongoing support between meetings. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into different schedules and to continue care when travel or location would otherwise be a barrier.
