About Annette
Dr. Annette Sauselen is an Ohio licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) with 25 years of experience. She focuses on everyday struggles like anger, grief, depression, relationship strain, and coping with life changes.
Her experience also includes supporting people facing trauma, addiction concerns, and caregiver stress. She keeps sessions straightforward and accepting. Her style is nonjudgmental and supportive, with gentle challenge when needed.
She also offers expressive approaches for people who prefer art or nonverbal ways to talk.
Background and approach
Dr. Sauselen uses practical methods drawn from client-centered work and cognitive behavioral ideas. She helps people notice patterns in thinking and behavior, then tries small changes that can alter how they feel.
She also draws on psychodynamic and trauma-focused approaches when early experiences or traumatic events relate to current problems. People come to her for help with relationship problems, family and parenting pressures, anger, low self-esteem, bipolar and other mood concerns. She also addresses issues like codependency, communication problems, guilt, and life purpose questions.
Sessions aim to make daily life feel more manageable and clearer. Dr. Sauselen offers a calm and steady approach.
She invites people to tell their story and to try practical steps between sessions. Her goal is to help clients build tools they can use after therapy ends.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the person's lead. The therapist offers empathy, reflection, and support to help people tell their story and decide what matters most. This approach helps with anger, low self-esteem, and relationship concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, behaviors, and feelings connect. It teaches clear skills and small experiments to test different reactions. CBT is useful for depression, anxiety, anger, and coping with life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative process can change over time as priorities shift.
Online therapy offers different ways to connect. Video calls let the therapist see facial cues, phone sessions work well when video is not an option, live chat can be a quick check-in, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, manage bandwidth or camera preferences, and keep regular contact when life feels busy.
