Annette Kauffroth, LCSW

Annette Kauffroth is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Texas with 14 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, depression, anger, addictions, grief, parenting challenges, and other mood and life‑transition issues.

She began her career as an engineer and later shifted into social work to focus on helping people navigate hard moments. Her work balances acceptance with purposeful change, drawing on familiar ideas such as Carl Rogers' observation that acceptance can open the door to change. Sessions are practical and down to earth, with an emphasis on skills and clarity rather than jargon.

Annette uses several evidence‑based approaches and mixes them according to what the person needs. She often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to examine thought patterns, Dialectical Behavior Therapy for emotion regulation skills, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and committed actions. Attachment‑based ideas inform how she looks at relationship patterns and closeness.

In session she focuses on concrete strategies: mindfulness practices, examining core beliefs, improving communication, and building small habits that shift daily life. She also has experience running trauma‑informed groups where people can practice new ways of relating and telling their stories.

Her style is straightforward and practical. She works collaboratively to set goals, try interventions, and adjust course as needed. People who want clear tools for handling anger, repairing relationships, or managing mood often appreciate this approach.
