Dr. Annabel Fields , CA Psychologist PSY28382

Dr. Annabel Fields greets people with a steady, practical approach. She focuses on the day-to-day problems that make life harder - stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship strain, and challenges tied to identity or parenting. Dr. Fields is a California psychologist with 19 years of experience and she aims to help clients feel heard and respected from the first session.

Her work centers on what is happening now and what can change in daily life. She uses methods drawn from Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and brings mindfulness and solution-focused ideas into sessions when useful. Conversations tend to be warm and straightforward, focused on clear goals and small steps forward.

Dr. Fields has treated a wide range of concerns across clinical settings, including mood and anxiety problems, addiction and substance use, trauma and grief, chronic illness, and issues around gender and sexual identity. She also helps people navigate communication difficulties, caregiver stress, and intimacy or kink-related questions.

Sessions emphasize collaboration. She listens first, then works with each person to build a plan that fits their life and values. Practical strategies and short-term goals are balanced with attention to deeper feelings when that is needed.

People who choose Dr. Fields often want a therapist who combines realistic problem solving with acceptance and respect. She brings nearly two decades of clinical experience and a steady, nonjudgmental manner to each meeting.

Approach and online therapy options

Dr. Fields uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through their concerns and feel understood. This approach helps with issues like low self-esteem, identity questions, and relationship stress by centering the person's experience and values.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and build practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, anger, and coping with life changes. CBT offers short-term exercises and concrete strategies that people can use between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences, then suggest one or a mix of methods to try. Together you will check in and adapt the plan as progress is made or needs shift.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or medical routines.
