About Annette
Dr. Annette Solomon is a MI Psychologist with 21 years of clinical experience based in Michigan. She works with people dealing with anger, addictions, relationship problems, trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, and related life stresses. Sessions take a straightforward, problem-focused tone and aim to identify what triggers frustration and what helps reduce it.
She draws on several practical approaches to help people change patterns that keep anger and resentment alive. That includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness strategies to notice early warning signs and try different responses. Sessions often involve setting small, doable goals and practicing new skills between meetings.
Her background includes a doctorate in clinical psychology from Wright State University School of Professional Psychology and long experience across medical and community settings. She has worked with people facing chronic medical conditions, addictions, and trauma, and has been part of diverse medical teams supporting varied needs.
In sessions she focuses on clear, evidence-informed techniques rather than jargon. Conversations cover beliefs, triggers, and routine habits that feed anger. Practical tools are emphasized - thinking patterns to reframe, brief behavioral experiments, and mindful pauses to reduce reactivity.
People who come for help with anger also bring related issues such as sleep problems, relationship strain, or caregiving stress. She works with those topics as part of a broader plan to reduce frustration and improve day-to-day coping. To start, the site matching form is used to arrange an initial session and set priorities.
Therapeutic approaches and how online work can fit your life
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a working relationship so people can name what matters and set real goals. It helps when someone needs steady support while they sort out feelings and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to test unhelpful beliefs and change responses. CBT is often used for anger, anxiety, depression, and sleep problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose methods that match a person's goals, preferences, and day-to-day demands. That may mean trying short behavioral experiments, adding mindfulness practices, or using motivational interviewing to build small changes over time.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or avoid travel for appointments. These practical benefits help people keep momentum with skills practice and apply new strategies between sessions.
