Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Susan Owen uses several evidence-informed approaches to tailor care to each person's needs. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathetic listening and building a supportive relationship so clients can explore feelings and values and find their own solutions; this approach can be especially helpful for people facing life transitions, grief, or loss. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and self-compassion techniques that often reduce rumination and support emotional regulation.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Susan collaborates with clients to identify methods that fit their goals, preferences, and life circumstances. Licensed professionals and therapists work together with clients to adjust strategies over time so care remains relevant and practical.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for busy schedules, limited mobility, or those who prefer remote care. These options make it easier to attend regular sessions, integrate therapeutic work into daily life, and maintain continuity of care despite geographic or time constraints.
