Therapeutic approaches and online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and accept difficult thoughts and feelings while taking committed steps toward a meaningful life. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and coping with life transitions.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on providing a respectful, empathetic environment in which clients can explore their experiences at their own pace; it supports building self-trust, self-esteem, and emotional insight. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) examines how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to reduce symptoms and change unhelpful patterns, which can be helpful for anxiety, low mood, and motivation challenges.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work and will be handled collaboratively. Susan will discuss different methods with each person, tailor techniques to their needs and goals, and adjust the plan as progress unfolds so the approach fits the client’s preferences and life circumstances.

Online therapy offers flexible options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing clients to access licensed professionals from home or on the go. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable while working toward personal goals.
