About Antonette

She focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and related issues.

She uses a client-centered stance that treats the person as the expert in their own life. That means sessions begin by listening carefully and creating a safe space for honest conversation.

Background and approach

From there she blends tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and mindfulness techniques to support calmer responses to stress. Her background includes work in both community and institutional settings across a diverse range of people and life challenges. That experience informs a flexible approach that adapts to each client's situation rather than following a single formula.

She also brings familiarity with issues such as addiction, bipolar conditions, ADHD, cancer and fertility-related concerns. Sessions are offered from Florida and conducted in English. International clients may be accepted for online formats.

Practical goals often include clearer communication, steady routines, and stronger coping skills for parenting and family life. Antonette aims to help people identify strengths and build resilience. She works with clients to create realistic steps for growth and problem solving over time.

Therapeutic approaches used in online family and parenting support

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship. The therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects understanding, and helps people clarify their goals and values; this approach supports parents and family members who need a steady, respectful space to talk.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors influence mood and interactions. It offers straightforward tools for changing unhelpful thinking and establishing new routines, which can reduce anxiety and improve daily family functioning.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. That process can change over time as challenges evolve and progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy family schedules and to continue support during life transitions. The range of options allows people to pick what feels most manageable for their situation and to maintain momentum between sessions.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Existential Therapy

Takes the larger questions seriously: meaning, choice, mortality, responsibility. Suited to periods when the difficulty is less a symptom than a sense that something has to change.
