About Annette
Dr. Annette Sauselen is an Ohio LPCC with 25 years of clinical experience. She has worked with people facing depression, relationship problems, grief, trauma and abuse, and many life transitions. Her practice includes support for parenting and blended family issues, caregiver stress, codependency, and concerns around guilt and shame.
She uses a mix of approaches to fit the problem at hand. Client-Centered Therapy means conversations that follow what the person brings and reflect their priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep someone stuck. Psychodynamic work pays attention to earlier relationships and patterns that keep repeating.
Annette describes her style as non-judgmental and supportive while offering helpful challenges when needed. She can include expressive or art-based methods for people who prefer them. Sessions focus on what the client wants to address and on practical steps that feel doable between visits.
She has supported people through trauma, mood concerns including bipolar challenges, addictions, anger, and struggles with self-esteem. Other common topics are forgiveness, family of origin issues, money worries, isolation, and finding purpose in midlife or transition periods.
Her practice is based in Ohio and she works in English. People who want to begin are asked to use the online matching process to schedule a first session and to confirm the current session options available.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on following what the person brings and reflecting their priorities. Online sessions using this approach center on listening, clarifying concerns, and helping clients set small, concrete steps between meetings.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Over video or phone, CBT commonly includes short exercises, thought records, and behavior experiments that a person can try between sessions to notice what changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped in the past, then suggest methods to try. That choice is reviewed and adjusted as needed so the plan fits the client's needs and pace.
The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm available formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, keep a shorter check-in when time is limited, or avoid travel to an office. Talk with the therapist during the matching process about how to structure sessions to match your schedule and practical needs.
