About Annette

Her approach is calm and direct, with a focus on practical steps people can use between sessions. She works with concerns such as depression, bipolar mood issues, addiction, and compassion fatigue. Relationship struggles, communication problems, blended family issues, and parenting stress are also common topics she addresses.
How Annette works
Dr. Sauselen also supports people coping with grief, major life changes, and the effects of abuse or physical trauma. Her style is nonjudgmental and supportive while offering gentle challenges that encourage change.
She uses client-centered methods to prioritize each person’s goals and preferences. Cognitive behavioral techniques are used to spot unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. When trauma is involved, she incorporates trauma-focused approaches to help people process painful memories and reduce their day-to-day impact.
She also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at long-standing patterns that influence choices and relationships. Expressive therapy options are available for people who prefer art-based ways to work through issues. Sessions are offered in English and can be scheduled online by following the site’s intake steps.
Her work is aimed at people who want clear, practical support from an experienced counselor.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Dr. Sauselen uses client-centered therapy to place each person’s needs and goals at the center of the work. That means sessions focus on what matters most to the client, with the therapist offering empathy, reflection, and guidance so people can find their own solutions.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT is useful for depression, anxiety, mood disorders, and problems like anger or addictive patterns where changing thinking and behavior can lead to tangible improvement.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. She will work with each person to decide which methods fit their situation, goals, and comfort level. That decision is collaborative and can change over time as needs evolve.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes scheduling more flexible. Video allows a more personal conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging supports brief check-ins or ongoing notes between longer sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and keep consistent contact with a licensed professional.
