About Annette
Dr. Annette Sauselen is an Ohio LPCC with 25 years of experience working alongside people facing hard life moments. She combines talk therapy and expressive methods and addresses concerns such as depression, grief, trauma and relationship strain. Annette also helps people dealing with anger, parenting pressures, addiction, and mood problems.
She keeps sessions straightforward. She encourages people to tell their story and listens without judgment. She also offers expressive art approaches when talking feels difficult or when people prefer a different way to process feelings.
Her style balances support with clear, practical challenges. That might mean spotting patterns in thinking, trying small behavior changes between sessions, or looking at past experiences that keep problems repeating. She draws on client-centered ideas to follow what feels most relevant to the person in front of her.
When trauma or abuse is part of the story, she uses trauma-focused strategies alongside psychodynamic work to understand how earlier events affect current relationships and mood. For anger, she helps people recognize triggers, practice different responses, and reduce the intensity and frequency of explosive moments.
Sessions also attend to life transitions, caregiver stress, blended family issues, codependency, and financial or work-related strain. Annette aims to make therapy practical and usable, so people leave sessions with specific steps they can try between meetings.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the person. Online sessions using this approach let the therapist respond to concerns as they come up and prioritize the topics a client brings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with practical exercises. CBT online can include homework, tracking patterns between sessions, and short behavioral experiments to try during the week.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. She will work with each person to decide whether a client-centered, CBT, or trauma-focused emphasis makes the most sense for their goals. That plan can change over time as needs and priorities shift, and the decision is made together.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking so you know how meetings are held. Online work can make scheduling easier and help therapy fit into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing sessions during a lunch break or between other commitments. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when needed and make it simpler to continue regular work on thoughts, behaviors, and triggers without rearranging your whole day.
