Approaches for online therapy and practical care

Susan Peterman uses evidence-informed approaches that translate well to remote work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments - it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching skills to change patterns of thinking and behavior. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clear communication - it can help people who struggle with intense emotions, relationship conflicts, or impulsive reactions. Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple present-moment awareness practices that support grounding and reduce reactivity, which can be helpful for stress, anxiety, and coping with life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process and is determined collaboratively. Susan works with each person to understand their needs, goals, and preferences, then tailors techniques from these approaches to fit the client’s situation and pace. This collaborative process helps ensure the chosen methods feel useful and manageable.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can happen by video call, over the phone, via live chat, or through text-based messaging - making it easier to fit counseling into busy schedules, to access care from different locations, and to continue work between appointments. Licensed professionals can adapt these therapeutic methods effectively in remote formats to support ongoing progress.
