Therapeutic approaches and online care
Susan commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her work. ACT helps people clarify what matters most to them and take committed action toward those values while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental relationship in which the therapist listens closely and supports the client’s own capacity for growth. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaching practical skills to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Susan works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors techniques from these approaches so treatment feels practical and aligned with the client’s priorities.
Online therapy offers flexibility to continue work from home or another convenient location. Sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing clients to choose the format that best suits their schedule and communication style. For many people this range of options makes it easier to maintain consistency in care and to apply new skills between sessions with support from licensed professionals and therapists.
