Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care



Susan commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy in her practice. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical techniques to change patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, or substance use challenges. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship where the therapist listens deeply and supports clients in finding their own solutions, which can help with self-esteem, communication, and processing difficult emotions. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and awareness skills that can reduce reactivity and support mood regulation and stress management.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Susan works with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and learning preferences, adjusting strategies over time as progress and priorities evolve. Licensed professionals aim to match techniques to what feels most useful for each person.

Online therapy formats - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit care into a busy life and to access support from different locations. These options offer flexibility in scheduling, continuity between sessions, and a range of ways to communicate so clients can choose what works best for them.
