Dr. Annabel Fields, CA Psychologist PSY28382

Dr. Annabel Fields welcomes people who are feeling stuck by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, or difficult life changes. She works in a direct, down-to-earth way to help clients manage symptoms that interfere with daily life. Dr. Fields uses practical conversation and focused strategies to help people make changes that matter to them.

Her approach centers on what someone is facing now rather than a diagnosis. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy, and adapts techniques from other methods to fit a person’s needs. Sessions typically look like a mix of listening, collaborative goal-setting, and trying concrete tools between visits.

Dr. Fields earned a doctorate in Clinical Psychology from Widener University in 2008 and has practiced for 19 years. She holds a California psychologist license, CA Psychologist PSY28382, and has worked in multiple treatment settings. That variety shaped her experience with mood concerns, anxiety, motivation, and complex life stressors.

She has helped people navigate relationship challenges for clients across sexual orientations and relationship structures, and she supports people working through gender identity questions. Other areas she commonly addresses include grief, addiction, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and issues rooted in family of origin.

Her style is warm and accepting. Clients who value a respectful, collaborative space for practical problem solving may find her helpful. To begin, the site’s Start Therapy button leads to a short matching questionnaire and scheduling options.

How these approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space. Online sessions can reproduce that environment through attentive conversation and reflective feedback to help people feel heard and understood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) emphasizes spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behavior. In an online setting this often means setting clear goals, trying short exercises between sessions, and reviewing what worked.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will ask about your goals, daily routines, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together you will choose methods and tweak them as you go so sessions match your needs and preferences.

The biography does not list specific session formats here, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example shorter check-ins, less travel time, and more flexible scheduling around work or caregiving. It also lets people practice new skills in the contexts where they live and work, then bring observations back to sessions for adjustment.
