About Annabel
Dr. Annabel Fields is a California Psychologist (CA Psychologist PSY28382) with 19 years of clinical experience. She focuses on everyday problems that get in the way of functioning, such as stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. Dr. Fields works in English and practices in California.
She looks at the symptoms that cause trouble day to day rather than centering a diagnosis. That means sessions often focus on practical skills to manage mood, reduce reactivity, and improve communication. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy are commonly used, with mindfulness and solution-focused tools added when useful.
Her background includes a doctorate in Clinical Psychology from Widener University in Pennsylvania, earned in 2008. Over nearly two decades she has worked in multiple treatment settings, helping people with motivation, grief, addiction concerns, and relationship problems. Her experience also covers issues related to gender identity and LGBTQ concerns.
In sessions she helps people spot the patterns that feed anger and frustration. She also works on forgiveness, family of origin problems, caregiver stress, and managing chronic pain or illness when those things affect mood. Concrete strategies can include thought monitoring, behavioral experiments, and short-term goal plans.
The first meetings focus on what’s most urgent and on small steps that fit daily life. Clients collaborate on measurable goals and on ways to check progress between sessions. To begin, use the See online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.
How Dr. Fields uses evidence-based approaches online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding the person’s experience and building collaborative goals. It helps when someone needs a listening approach that also clarifies what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the thoughts and behaviors that keep anger and low mood going. It uses practical exercises such as thought records, behavioral experiments, and activity planning to reduce reactivity and improve coping. Mindfulness Therapy trains simple attention skills to notice early signs of frustration and choose different responses. It can be useful for managing impulsive reactions and for stress reduction. Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try options, and adjust methods based on what helps. This is a collaborative process that puts the client’s needs and preferences first. Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as format details are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time. These practical benefits help clients keep continuity of care while working on anger, stress, and related concerns.Areas of expertise
