Dr. Annette Solomon

Dr. Annette Solomon welcomes people who are looking for support with emotional pain, trauma, relationship struggles, mood shifts, and life transitions. She writes in plain terms and aims to make the first steps toward help feel manageable. Dr. Solomon is a psychologist with many years of experience and a practical, down-to-earth style.

She earned a doctorate in clinical psychology from Wright State University School of Professional Psychology. Over two decades she has worked with people facing addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, chronic illness, and other complex concerns. Her background includes work alongside medical teams and experience with veteran populations.

In sessions she uses a warm, compassionate approach that focuses on strengths. She draws on Client-Centered methods to listen closely and meet people where they are. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice thinking and behavior patterns that get in the way.

Trauma-Focused Therapy is part of her practice when trauma is a central concern; she combines that work with motivational interviewing to support change and clarify goals. She aims to build a clear, individualized plan with measurable steps rather than vague goals.

Expect practical tools and the chance to practice new ways of handling stress, relationships, sleep, and substance use. Dr. Solomon frames therapy as collaborative work - she helps people set goals, learn skills, and track progress over time.

She lists her credential as MI Psychologist 6301013313 and practices in Michigan. Sessions are conducted in English.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Trauma-Focused Therapy focuses on addressing distress tied to past traumatic events. In practice this means gently pacing the work, naming experiences, and using strategies to reduce overwhelm and improve day-to-day functioning. Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes the person’s experience by offering empathic listening and collaboration so people feel heard and can guide the goals of treatment. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical exercises to change patterns that worsen mood or anxiety.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist discusses your goals and preferences and helps choose which methods to emphasize. That collaborative planning helps shape session focus and homework so the work fits each person’s needs.

Session formats are not listed in this profile, so confirm current online options before booking. When available, online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Online work also supports practicing skills between sessions and reviewing materials together during meetings. If you have questions about how therapy might fit into your routine, the therapist will discuss practical options when you schedule.
