My name is Annette Howard, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Florida and working remotely with clients in Florida and North Carolina via telehealth. I work with adults and specialize in stress, anxiety, and grief/loss, using techniques of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy to help my clients confront those negative thoughts and start feeling better. I have found that my approach and skills are a good fit for adults who may be dealing with challenges of life transitions. This often shows up in the form of anxiety, depression, stress, and relationship conflicts.

Let's talk about sex. Are you and your partner experiencing a lack of pleasure? Are you finding it challenging to feel aroused? Do you feel you have lost the "spark"? Are you looking to increase the passion and pleasure you desire in life? Do you want to wake up and feel empowered in your sex life? Sex can be a challenging conversation. Expressing our desires and fantasies can be intimidating. Sometimes we don't know where to begin and other times we can feel that we have expressed ourselves clearly. Over time, partners find themselves having less sex. They feel "too tired", "too busy", "unable to feel aroused".

To those around you, it may seem as though you're doing pretty good in life. You do what you can & try to cope with the inevitable ups & downs, however, deep down you find yourself wondering, "What if I'm not doing 'life' right?", "What if I'm really not capable of all this?", "What if I'm not good enough?". You catch yourself worrying about the future & what's to come. And at other times, ruminating about the past & questioning if you've made the right choices. There are times you may fear it's all gonna come crashing down one day. That the foundation on which your life is built could be in danger of crumbling.

I believe effective therapy starts with developing strong empathy as the foundation for establishing our therapeutic agenda and working with you to determine the tools you find most helpful in resolving problems. I provide a brief, well researched mood survey at the beginning and end of initial sessions & you evaluate me & our therapy session so I can learn how to work better with you. Getting feedback after a session helps me to understand you better and that expedites treatment. I will teach you very powerful tools to use in changing how you feel in a very short period. Therapy can be effective in weeks instead of months
