About Annette

Annette Burleigh is an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Oklahoma with 30 years of professional experience. She helps people with family conflict, grief and loss, parenting concerns, self-esteem, and coping with major life changes. She works with adults who want straightforward, practical support while they sort through difficult events.

She focuses on clear, usable steps in sessions. That can mean talking through a recent loss, looking at patterns that affect family interactions, or planning small changes that improve day-to-day routine. She listens for strengths clients already use and builds on those skills rather than starting from scratch.

Annette often helps people facing adoption or foster care related stress, caregiver strain, fertility and hospice concerns, and the pressures that come with midlife. She also supports those dealing with money worries and young adult transitions. Her long experience includes work with grief tied to illness and end-of-life care.

Sessions aim to make difficult problems more manageable. Conversations are practical and paced to the client. Annette encourages clients to try small experiments between meetings and to notice what works and what needs adjusting.

For someone in a blended household, she can help sort loyalty concerns, role confusion, and shifting routines. She accepts international clients and provides services in English. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

Approaches and how online sessions fit your life

Annette uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that emphasize practical problem solving and skill building. One common approach focuses on identifying existing strengths and using those skills to manage stress, improve communication, and handle grief. Another approach breaks down larger problems into small, testable changes clients can try between sessions to see what helps.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client decide together which methods to try based on the person’s goals, daily life, and what feels most useful. That collaborative planning makes it easier to adjust tactics when something is not working.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a quick problem needs attention. It can also let people meet with a licensed professional even if they live far from specialists. Annette accepts international clients and provides sessions in English, and she will discuss the best way to schedule sessions when you complete the matching questionnaire.
