Annette Kauffroth, LCSW

Annette Kauffroth is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Texas with 14 years of experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, relationship problems, trauma, depression, and life transitions. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer choices rather than jargon. Annette invites straightforward conversation about what is getting in the way and what a better day would look like.

She came to therapy after an earlier career in engineering and brings that practical mindset to sessions. Her work balances acceptance and change, using questions and exercises to notice patterns and try new responses. She often uses skills from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help people manage intense feelings and rethink unhelpful thoughts.

Attachment-based ideas guide how she looks at relationship patterns and intimacy concerns. That lens helps when people want to change how they connect, argue, or handle distance from partners. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to clarify values and make room for small, achievable shifts.

Annette has experience running trauma-informed groups and believes telling your story can reduce isolation. She offers practical strategies for communication problems, parenting stress, grieving losses, and career strain. She also works with issues linked to mood disorders and addiction without promising specific outcomes.

Her approach is collaborative and down-to-earth. She helps people notice what keeps anger and resentment repeating, practices new ways to respond, and develops everyday tools to handle triggers. People leave with clear next steps to try between sessions.
