About Annette
Dr. Annette Sauselen is an Ohio LPCC with 25 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on problems such as depression, anxiety, relationship and parenting difficulties, and mood disorders. She also helps people coping with grief, addiction concerns, and stress from caregiving or blended family dynamics.
Her approach blends client-centered listening with practical tools from cognitive behavioral work. She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at how past patterns shape current behavior. Trauma-focused methods are used when people have a history of physical trauma or emotional abuse and need strategies to manage their reactions.
Sessions tend to be straightforward and conversational. She offers expressive art therapy as an option for people who prefer a nonverbal way to process feelings. In sessions she balances supportive listening with gentle challenges aimed at shifting unhelpful habits and thinking.
Dr. Sauselen pays attention to the role of family of origin issues and how childhood roles and expectations continue to affect adult relationships. She helps people notice repeating patterns, set boundaries, and change interactions that cause friction at home or work.
With long experience across life stages, she works on practical goals such as improving communication, managing anger, addressing codependency, and coping with major life changes. Scheduling and fee details are handled through the site process, which asks a few simple questions before booking a first session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what a person says. It helps people clarify feelings, make decisions, and feel heard during stressful family or life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, and problems with mood or anger.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Dr. Sauselen will work with clients to decide which combination of methods fits their goals and preferences. That collaboration helps shape session topics and homework between meetings.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten some check-ins when needed, or choose a session style that does not require being on camera. These practical benefits can help people keep consistent appointments while they address family of origin patterns, grief, or coping with life changes.
