Therapeutic Approaches and Flexible Online Care



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and working to replace them with more constructive patterns. It is often used for depression, anxiety, mood challenges, and practical coping skills development. Mindfulness Therapy emphasizes present-moment awareness and nonjudgmental attention to thoughts and feelings; it can help reduce reactivity to stress, improve emotional regulation, and support coping with trauma-related symptoms and compassion fatigue.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Susan collaborates with clients to determine which methods align with their goals, preferences, and needs. She draws on evidence-informed techniques while adapting interventions over time so the client and therapist can evaluate what is most effective together.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, over the phone, via live chat, or through text-based messaging - making it easier to fit care into busy schedules or manage mobility and geographic constraints. Licensed professionals can provide consistent support and skills training remotely, helping clients access therapy in ways that suit their daily lives.
