Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support

Dr. Annette Sauselen combines practical, insight-oriented, and trauma-informed methods to meet each client's needs. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an accepting therapeutic relationship where the client leads the pace of work while the therapist offers empathy and reflective listening - this approach helps with self-esteem, decision making, and navigating life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured approach that helps identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It is useful for depression, anxiety, coping skills, and problem-solving in day-to-day life.

Trauma-Focused Therapy offers targeted strategies to address the effects of physical or emotional trauma, supporting people to process traumatic memories and build stronger coping resources.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Sauselen works collaboratively with each person to assess goals, preferences, and needs, and then tailors techniques to find the best fit. She partners with clients to adjust methods over time so therapy remains responsive.

Online therapy provides flexible ways to connect - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging allow people to access licensed professionals from home or on the go. These options can make scheduling easier, reduce travel time, and support continuity of care when life is busy or circumstances change.
