Therapeutic Approaches That Guide Online Care

Susan King often integrates Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to meet each person where they are. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on understanding patterns of relating and connection that stem from early experiences - it can be helpful for those coping with abandonment, attachment issues, and difficulties sustaining closeness. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and validating the client’s experience so people feel heard and can explore their values, identity, and life purpose at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical strategies for managing anxiety, depression, stress, and day-to-day coping.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process; Susan King collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time and works together with clients to refine a plan that feels useful and respectful of their pace.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules or to attend from home. These remote formats support continuity of care, flexible scheduling, and consistent access to licensed professionals and therapists who can provide ongoing guidance and skill-building from a distance.
