About Annette

Annette Warner is a licensed clinical social worker (LICSW) with 22 years of experience. She has worked across settings with children, families, and adults living with persistent mental health conditions, and brings longstanding clinical interest and training in trauma care.

Background and approach

Her background includes hands-on experience as a foster parent, which has informed her work with attachment, adoption and foster care, and family dynamics. Warner blends client-centered principles with cognitive behavioral and mindfulness tools to address a wide range of difficulties including anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, sleep problems, anger, mood disorders, obsessive-compulsive patterns, and relationship or parenting challenges.

She aims to create a respectfully warm, accepting space where people can explore concerns and develop practical coping strategies. Her work also attends to related areas such as abandonment, dissociation, intellectual disability, and social isolation.

Practices are informed by trauma-focused approaches alongside family-centered and solution-oriented elements. Warner accepts clients in Minnesota and offers English-language sessions through a variety of online formats.

Approaches that guide online care and practical access

Annette draws on client-centered therapy to prioritize each person’s experience, offering a respectful, collaborative stance that helps people feel heard and understood while they explore goals and concerns. Cognitive behavioral therapy is another core component of her work and focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and developing concrete strategies to manage symptoms such as anxiety, depression, or obsessive tendencies.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She will work with clients to assess needs, preferences, and goals and then blend techniques from these approaches so that treatment fits the individual rather than imposing a single method. This allows room for trauma-focused attention when past events are central, or for solution-oriented skill building when short-term coping is the priority.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it possible to connect from wherever a client is in Minnesota and to continue therapy when life circumstances make in-person visits difficult, while still maintaining a steady therapeutic process with a licensed professional.
