Dr. Annette Sauselen , LPCC

Dr. Annette Sauselen is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with 25 years of clinical experience working with a broad range of concerns. She has supported people facing depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, parenting challenges, career transitions, personality disorder concerns, and life-phase issues, and she has worked with many who experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.

Her approach to counseling is non-judgmental and supportive, and she combines empathy with thoughtful, constructive challenges to help clients move forward. In addition to talk-based methods, she has offered expressive therapy to clients who find that art-based or creative approaches help them process feelings and experiences.

Dr. Sauselen emphasizes the importance of space for individuals to tell their story and to work through their struggles in an environment that respects their experience. She communicates optimism about the potential for healing and recovery while attending to each person’s pace and readiness for change.

As an experienced LPCC - a licensed professional clinical counselor - she brings both training and years of practice to her work with individuals and families seeking support for complex emotional and interpersonal concerns.

Approaches and Online Care with Dr. Annette Sauselen

Dr. Annette Sauselen uses client-centered therapy to create an empathic, non-directive space where individuals can explore their thoughts and feelings at their own pace - this approach is well suited to relationship concerns, grief, and life transitions because it prioritizes the client’s perspective and goals. She also integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and developing practical skills for managing mood, anxiety, and behavior - CBT is often helpful for depression, anxiety, and coping with life changes. When trauma is central to a person’s concerns, she draws on trauma-focused techniques to address the impacts of emotional or physical harm, helping clients process traumatic memories and reduce their ongoing effects.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Sauselen works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as therapy progresses. That collaborative stance helps ensure interventions feel relevant and manageable.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage in care. Sessions can take place via video calls, by phone, through live chat, or using text-based messaging, making it easier to fit appointments into busy schedules, to access therapy from home, or to continue work between traditional sessions. These options support consistent progress while accommodating different communication styles and practical needs.
