About Annette
Annette Skeen is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with 14 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. Annette also lists blended family issues among her additional areas of focus, along with concerns such as attachment issues, communication problems, and divorce and separation.
She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques alongside a relationship-centered way of working. Sessions are practical and conversational. She aims to help people speak about what feels hard and to find steps that fit daily life.
Annette pays attention to how past relationships and family patterns affect current struggles. She helps people untangle feelings of abandonment, guilt, shame, and problems that come up around family of origin or domestic violence. Practical skills and clearer communication are common themes in her work.
People who come to her for midlife transitions, first responder stress, or veteran-related issues can expect direct focus on coping strategies and managing symptoms. She also addresses questions about life purpose and rebuilding self-love after painful experiences.
Her approach balances practical techniques with thoughtful listening. New clients typically complete an initial matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
Evidence-based approaches and online sessions
Annette integrates evidence-based therapeutic techniques into her work. One common approach focuses on practical coping skills for anxiety and depression, teaching breathing, grounding, and activity planning to reduce symptoms and improve daily routines. Another approach addresses trauma and post-traumatic stress with methods that help people process difficult memories and reduce reactive patterns so they can manage triggers more effectively.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, history, and what feels most useful. Together they adjust methods over time if something is not working or new needs emerge.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the exact session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when days are tight, and remove travel time. Many people find it simpler to keep consistent appointments when sessions match their daily routine. Licensed professionals and therapists adapt techniques so practical skills and emotional work translate into remote sessions.
