About Annette
Dr. Annette Sauselen is an Ohio licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) with 25 years of experience. She brings a calm, nonjudgmental presence and aims to give each person time to tell their story. Her manner is supportive and direct, with gentle challenges when needed to help people move forward.

Expressive therapy, including art-based options, is available when that feels like a better fit.
People can expect a respectful, steady therapist who balances listening with helpful suggestions. She emphasizes creating space to process feelings and to develop clearer ways of coping. Progress is shaped around each person's goals and life situation.

How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience. It emphasizes accepting the person's perspective and building a trusting relationship so they can talk through hard things and find their own solutions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and actions affect feelings. It uses practical techniques to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, which can help with depression, anxiety, and mood management.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort level. Together they try different tools and adjust the plan as needed.
Confirm the available session options before booking so you know how sessions will take place. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also means expressive art activities and talk-based work can be adapted to a remote setting, depending on what is arranged during intake.
