Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Susan often integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and client-centered methods to meet each person where they are. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify their values and take practical steps toward a meaningful life while learning to notice unhelpful thoughts without getting stuck in them. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns formed in early relationships to improve connection, trust, and emotional regulation in current relationships. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a collaborative, non-directive stance that prioritizes the client's own perspective and goals to foster self-awareness and growth.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Susan works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best based on needs, goals, and personal preferences. She adapts methods over time so therapy remains relevant and effective for the individual.
Online therapy offers practical benefits that align with Susan’s flexible approach. Video sessions allow face-to-face connection when meeting in person is not possible, while phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging provide additional options for those with busy schedules or mobility constraints. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to access licensed professionals and therapists from a location that works for the client.
