About Annette

Dr. Annette Sauselen is an Ohio LPCC with 25 years of clinical experience. She has worked with people facing depression, anxiety, trauma and relationship concerns, and she lists blended family issues among her additional focuses. Her background includes supporting those dealing with grief, parenting stress, addiction, and mood disorders.

She uses a mix of approaches to match what a person needs in the moment. Sessions are described as client-centered and straightforward. She also applies cognitive-behavioral ideas and trauma-focused work when those fit the concern. Expressive or art-based methods are offered as an option for people who find that helpful.

Her style is described in simple terms: accepting and practical, with gentle challenges to help people move forward. She aims to give people room to tell their story and to clarify small, doable steps. That includes addressing communication problems, codependency, and issues that arise when households merge or routines change in a blended family.

Dr. Sauselen’s experience includes long-term work with trauma and abuse survivors as well as people facing midlife transitions, caregiver stress, and financial strain. She notes that recovery and changes in how someone copes are possible with focused effort and guidance. Her approach attends to both immediate coping and underlying patterns.

Sessions follow standard clinical practice in Ohio and are offered in English. Before booking, readers should confirm the current session options and any format details they need.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what a person says. It helps people feel heard, clarify priorities, and decide on next steps for relationship and life-change issues.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together. It breaks problems into manageable steps, teaches practical skills, and can help with depression, anxiety, and coping during household changes.

Many people try different approaches before settling on what fits. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose which methods to use based on a person’s goals and preferences. That collaborative process includes checking what helps and adjusting the approach over time.

Confirm the exact online session options before booking because the biography does not list formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also lets people use approaches like CBT worksheets or expressive exercises in ways that fit their day-to-day life.
