Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors so clients can develop concrete coping skills for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and self-compassion techniques that can reduce reactivity, improve emotional regulation, and support sleep and stress management. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on addressing the effects of traumatic experiences through gentle processing and stabilization strategies to support recovery and improved functioning.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Susan works with clients to explore goals, preferences, and history, and she adjusts methods over time so treatment fits each person's needs. The aim is to combine evidence-based techniques with a respectful, individualized plan.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - which makes it easier to schedule appointments around work, family, and health considerations. Licensed professionals can provide meaningful therapeutic work through these modalities, helping clients apply skills between sessions and maintain continuity of care.
