Therapeutic approaches and online care with Janice Susman

Janice commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical approach that helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and test new ways of thinking and acting. CBT is often useful for stress, anxiety, depression, and building coping skills for daily challenges.

She also emphasizes a strengths-based, supportive approach that recognizes each person as the expert of their own life. This perspective focuses on identifying existing resources and abilities to empower clients to make meaningful changes in relationships, self-esteem, and life direction.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Janice works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods best match their goals, needs, and preferences. She partners with clients to adjust strategies over time so care remains relevant and effective.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions take place - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules or to access support from afar. These options allow licensed professionals to provide consistent guidance and skill-building while accommodating different communication styles and practical needs.
