About Annette
Dr. Annette Sauselen is an LPCC (Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor) based in Ohio with 25 years of clinical experience. She sees people for relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, coping with life changes, addictions, family and parenting stress, anger, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, and compassion fatigue.
She takes a straightforward, client-focused approach. Sessions offer chances to tell your story and to try different ways of thinking and behaving. She can use expressive or art-based methods when that feels more comfortable alongside talk therapy.
Her work blends practical, present-focused methods with attention to past patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy appears alongside client-centered listening and psychodynamic ideas to notice repeated reactions. Trauma-focused work is used with people who have a history of abuse or physical injury.
In session she balances encouragement with direct, constructive challenge. That can mean identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing new responses, and practicing small changes between meetings. She aims to help people manage symptoms and rebuild everyday routines.
Dr. Sauselen has long experience helping adults navigate transitions and loss. She also addresses family-of-origin issues, blended family stress, caregiver strain, codependency, communication problems, control issues, guilt and shame, and isolation or loneliness. Her practice is for English-speaking adults in Ohio.

How her approaches translate to online work
Dr. Sauselen commonly blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying and testing thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going, and it helps with depression, anxiety, and mood issues. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on safely addressing memories and patterns that developed after abuse or injury and supports building coping skills.Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will discuss goals and preferences and work together to choose methods that fit those needs. That collaborative decision helps shape whether sessions emphasize CBT exercises, expressive work, or trauma-focused techniques.
Session format details are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove commute time. It also makes it possible to try expressive tasks or homework between meetings while keeping momentum toward practical changes.
