About Annette

Dr. Annette Solomon is a Michigan psychologist with 21 years of clinical experience. She holds a doctorate in clinical psychology and has spent two decades working with people facing addictions, trauma, grief, mood concerns, stress, and parenting challenges. She offers straightforward, practical support for pressing problems at home and in daily life.

She often helps people dealing with relationship strain, intimacy issues, and family-related stress. She also works with concerns such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and problems with sleep and self-esteem. Additional focus includes caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, blended family issues, and substance use concerns.

Her approach mixes client-centered work with evidence-informed methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing are used to clarify goals and change unhelpful patterns. Existential and mindfulness ideas are woven in to help people reflect on values and stay present.

Sessions emphasize clear steps and small changes that can be tried between meetings. She discusses goals and records a simple treatment plan so progress can be tracked. Conversations are direct and practical, aimed at reducing daily strain and improving routines at home.

Dr. Solomon brings experience from medical and multidisciplinary teams, including work with people affected by chronic medical conditions. She works in English and sees clients from within Michigan. Prospective clients are asked to confirm current session formats before booking.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the client. It helps clarify priorities and builds a collaborative working relationship. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and uses practical exercises to change them; it is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep, and mood regulation. Motivational Interviewing is a conversational strategy that helps people resolve mixed feelings about change and strengthen commitment to specific goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist discusses goals, tries methods, and adjusts based on what is helpful. This is a collaborative process where client feedback guides which approaches are emphasized.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Many people find remote meetings help them practice skills in real life between sessions and keep momentum going during stressful seasons.
