Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Susanna Armstrong integrates several practical approaches into online work to meet clients where they are. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering concrete tools for managing anxiety, depression, and mood challenges. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented method that helps people explore ambivalence and strengthen motivation for change, which is especially useful in addiction and recovery work. Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple attention and awareness practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Susanna works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting strategies as progress unfolds.

Online options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to access licensed professionals from different locations. These formats support continuity of care, offer flexibility in how people communicate, and allow therapists to tailor sessions to each client's circumstances.
