Evidence-Informed Approaches Delivered Online
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an empathetic, nonjudgmental relationship in which the therapist follows the client’s lead, helping people explore feelings, clarify values, and build self-understanding - an approach that supports growth during life transitions, midlife changes, and challenges with self-esteem. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; it offers practical strategies for managing anxiety, depression, panic symptoms, and day-to-day stress. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence-informed method used to process traumatic memories and reduce their emotional impact, often benefiting people who have experienced abuse, complex trauma, or intense distress.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself, and Susan Lockard collaborates with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and personal preferences. That collaborative process helps ensure therapy feels relevant and manageable as goals evolve.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility by allowing sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit care into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and connect with licensed professionals from home or other convenient locations. These options support consistent progress while accommodating different communication styles and practical needs.
