About Annette
Dr. Annette Sauselen is an Ohio-based licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) with 25 years of experience. She brings a calm, non-judgmental presence and a practical focus to sessions. Her work often centers on relationship strain, mood difficulties, grief, and the stresses that follow major life changes.
She has supported people coping with trauma and emotional abuse, and she often helps those who struggle with addiction, anger, or low self-esteem. Money and financial issues are listed among the areas she pays attention to when they affect daily life and relationships.
Dr. Sauselen uses several clinical approaches depending on what a person needs. She draws on client-centered methods to create a respectful space for people to tell their story. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors.
She also incorporates psychodynamic ideas when it helps to look at patterns that began in earlier relationships. Expressive therapy is offered as an option for people who prefer working with art and creative processes rather than only talking.
Her style is supportive and gently challenging. Sessions focus on practical steps a person can take between meetings, and on building clearer communication and coping skills. People who want a calm, steady therapist who listens first may find her approach a good fit.
Approaches to Online Therapeutic Work
Dr. Sauselen uses client-centered work to put the person’s experience first. That means sessions begin with listening and reflecting so people can tell their story. This approach helps when someone needs acceptance and understanding before making changes.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors. CBT can be useful for mood concerns, anxiety, and practical problems like communication or managing impulses.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That may mean starting with a listening-focused approach, then adding CBT tasks, psychodynamic reflection, or expressive art as needed.
The practical benefits of online therapy can include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy life. Online work can make it simpler to meet during a lunch break, reduce travel time, or maintain continuity when life is hectic. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and expressive art activities to work well in remote sessions when that format is agreed on.
