Dr. Annette Sauselen

Dr. Annette Sauselen is an independently licensed clinical counselor, LPCC, with 25 years of experience. She combines talk therapy and expressive approaches to help people who are struggling. Her work often focuses on relationship issues, grief, depression, and anger concerns.

Dr. Sauselen describes a non-judgmental, supportive style. She listens first and offers practical challenges that help people make progress. Expressive therapy is offered when that feels like a better fit for the person.

Her background includes long experience helping people after physical trauma or emotional abuse. She also supports clients managing caregiving stress, blended family strains, codependency, and problems with control and communication.

Sessions aim to give people space to tell their story and to practice different ways of responding to difficult feelings. She uses methods drawn from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, psychodynamic ideas, and trauma-focused approaches to tailor the plan to each person's needs.

Dr. Sauselen works from Ohio and holds the LPCC credential in that state. Sessions are conducted in English. People who live outside the United States are not accepted at this time. The site’s booking process asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

Her approach is straightforward: listen, reflect, and try practical steps that fit daily life. She encourages people to set small goals and notice changes over time.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship, giving the person space to tell their story and set the pace. It helps with relationship strain, low self-esteem, and big life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful habits and manage mood problems. It is often useful for depression, anxiety, and anger concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to try first and will adjust the plan based on goals and what feels helpful. This is a cooperative process that includes checking in about progress and changing direction when needed.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make therapy easier to fit into a busy week and may reduce travel time. They also allow for shorter check-ins or more flexible scheduling when those adjustments help someone stay consistent with care.
