About Annette
LMSW in Michigan with three years of clinical experience, Annette Kata focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. She also addresses blended family issues, communication problems, divorce and separation, hospice and end-of-life counseling, postpartum depression, sexuality, women's issues, life purpose, and self-love. Annette works primarily with adults and uses several practical therapy methods to help people manage emotions and daily challenges.
Annette draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and the Gottman Method. Sessions typically involve noticing current patterns, trying small behavior changes, and practicing new ways of communicating. She encourages simple, usable skills people can use between sessions to handle stress and strong feelings.
Her background includes a Master of Social Work from Michigan State University and experience in home-based care for older adults and people with disabilities. She later worked in medical settings supporting patients and caregivers as they navigated treatment and health systems. Those roles shaped her focus on practical problem solving and realistic supports.
In therapy with Annette, a typical meeting might include checking what’s most pressing, setting a short goal, and practicing a skill or communication step. She places emphasis on building self-acceptance and clearer communication rather than lengthy theory talks. Many people come to her for help with transitions, grief, relationship shifts, and parenting stress.

How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and values, then taking small actions that match what matters. It can help with anxiety, life changes, and decisions about relationships and purpose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches practical steps to shift unhelpful patterns. It is often used for stress, anxiety, and mood concerns. The Gottman Method centers on communication skills and structured exercises to improve how partners talk and solve problems, which is useful for relationship strains.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review goals, needs, and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. Sessions are collaborative and can shift over time based on what is helping and what the person prefers.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find remote sessions help fit therapy into daily life, such as making it easier to schedule around work, reduce travel time, or choose shorter check-ins on busy days. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and Gottman exercises for remote meetings so clients practice skills between sessions and continue progress even when life feels busy.
