About Annette

Annette Skeen is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in South Carolina with 14 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, and challenges tied to life changes. She also focuses on concerns such as attachment issues, family of origin issues, and coping after separation or loss.

Her approach combines evidence-based therapeutic techniques and a relationship-centered style. Sessions are conversational and focused on practical steps people can try between meetings. She pays attention to patterns that began in childhood and how they show up now in relationships, self-worth, and daily choices.

Annette helps people untangle roles and expectations learned in their families of origin. She talks through communication problems, blended family concerns, and feelings tied to abandonment or guilt. This work often looks at current problems alongside memories and repeated interactions from early life.

In sessions she maps out short-term goals and small skills to practice. She adapts pacing to what each person needs and checks in about progress. People can expect direct feedback, space to reflect, and steps to try between appointments.

Her background centers on using proven techniques within a supportive therapeutic relationship. Annette draws on her fourteen years of counseling experience in South Carolina to guide adults through midlife questions, veteran and first responder stress, and post-traumatic stress reactions. She conducts work in English and does not accept international clients.

Approaches for addressing family patterns online

Annette uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques alongside a relationship-focused way of working. One approach looks at patterns that began in childhood and how they repeat in adult relationships; this helps people notice triggers and try different responses. Another approach focuses on managing symptoms like anxiety and low mood by teaching practical skills such as grounding, breathing, and behavioral experiments to test new habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client will review goals, preferences, and how problems show up day to day. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan based on what helps most in practice.
