Dr. Annette Sauselen , LPCC

Dr. Annette Sauselen is an independently licensed clinical counselor and art therapist with 25 years of clinical experience working with a broad range of concerns. She has supported people facing depression, anxiety, relationship struggles, parenting and blended family challenges, career transitions, personality disorders, and other phase-of-life issues. Her practice has also included extensive work with survivors of physical trauma and emotional abuse.

Her counseling style is non-judgmental and supportive, while also offering thoughtful challenges designed to promote progress. She offers expressive and art-based approaches for those who find creative methods more comfortable alongside traditional talk therapy. As a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC), she combines practical techniques with an understanding of deeper emotional and relational patterns to tailor care to each person.

She emphasizes the importance of space to tell one’s story and approaches healing as a possible, collaborative process. Dr. Sauselen encourages clients to explore goals, build coping skills, and work through painful experiences at a pace that feels right for them. She looks forward to supporting people who seek thoughtful, experienced care.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Dr. Annette Sauselen

Dr. Sauselen uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, empathetic space where individuals lead the pace and focus of sessions while the therapist offers support and reflection - this approach helps with relationship concerns, self-esteem, and life transitions. She also integrates trauma-focused therapy when past harm affects daily functioning, using targeted techniques to process traumatic memories and reduce their ongoing impact. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, when appropriate, helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills for managing mood and coping with stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Sauselen works collaboratively with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, then tailors interventions so therapy aligns with what the client wants to achieve. Together they adjust methods over time to ensure the best fit.

Online sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life changes, allow access from home or other locations, and enable clients to choose the communication style that works best for them.
