Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
SUSAN SCHANEN uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT focuses on building practical skills and coping strategies that often help with anxiety, depression, stress, and day-to-day challenges. Trauma-Focused Therapy is also central to her work and emphasizes understanding and processing the effects of past trauma - physical or emotional - while developing tools to reduce distress and improve functioning.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Susan works with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and then tailors the plan accordingly. She emphasizes partnership in therapy so that the chosen methods fit the client's life and evolve as progress is made.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain consistent care, fit sessions into busy lives, and continue work across life transitions while working with licensed professionals and therapists who adapt methods for remote delivery.
