Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports people in noticing difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It emphasizes clarifying personal values and taking committed actions that align with what matters, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions.
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a warm, nonjudgmental space where the person’s own goals and pace guide the work. This approach helps build self-understanding, self-compassion, and stronger communication skills, particularly useful for relationship and self-esteem concerns.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical strategies to shift unhelpful patterns. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and mood-related issues and can provide concrete tools for daily coping.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Susan collaborates with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions are tailored and adjusted over time so therapists and clients can test what works best together.
Online therapy with Susan includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to offer flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, family, or mobility needs and support consistent care across changing circumstances.
