About Annette
Dr. Annette Sauselen is an Ohio licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) with 25 years of experience. She combines talk-based work with expressive art options for people who find drawing or making helpful alongside conversation. Her approach is calm and nonjudgmental, and she makes room for each person to tell their story.
She has worked with many concerns over the years including depression, grief, relationship problems, parenting stress, and mood disorders. She has also supported people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse. She lists coping with natural or human-caused disaster among her focus areas.
In sessions she aims to be supportive while also offering thoughtful challenges when helpful. That means listening carefully, reflecting what she hears, and suggesting practical steps clients can try between visits. Expressive therapy is available for people who prefer using art to process feelings.
Dr. Sauselen uses a mix of approaches to tailor work to each person. She draws on client-centered ideas to prioritize each person's goals and pace. She may use cognitive behavioral techniques to address patterns of thinking and behavior, and psychodynamic ideas to look at longer-term themes that affect feeling and action.
Her style is straightforward and focused on usable changes. People who want an attentive listener and practical next steps may find this approach helpful. To begin, follow the site's Start Therapy process and schedule based on the therapist's availability.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and making the session fit the person's goals. The therapist prioritizes the client's perspective and works at a pace that feels comfortable. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers hands-on strategies to change unhelpful patterns and manage symptoms such as depression or anxiety.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs and preferences and then suggest which methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can evolve as goals change.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, sessions can save travel time, allow a quicker check-in during a work break, or reduce the need to arrange childcare. Licensed professionals can adapt client-centered and CBT techniques to online conversations and expressive exercises, and will help decide how those methods best fit everyday schedules.
