Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Dr. Annette Sauselen uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a supportive, empathetic space where the client leads the pace and goals of treatment - this approach helps with relationship concerns, life transitions, and building self-esteem. She also applies Trauma-Focused Therapy when addressing the effects of physical or emotional trauma, using focused techniques to help process traumatic memories and reduce their ongoing impact. In addition, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical coping skills for depression, anxiety, and mood-related challenges.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and is handled collaboratively. Dr. Sauselen works with each person to understand their needs, goals, and preferences, and together they determine which methods or combination of methods are the best fit.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or limited local options. These formats allow clients to engage in consistent care from locations that work for them, while still receiving attention from licensed professionals and therapists who tailor treatment to individual circumstances.
