Practical Approaches and Online Support
Susan uses client-centered therapy to create a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where the client's needs and perspectives guide the work. This approach helps people build self-awareness, clarify values, and strengthen their own coping resources when facing life changes, grief, or relationship challenges.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns and develop more effective ways of thinking and behaving. CBT can be useful for symptoms of anxiety, depression, panic, and other challenges by focusing on practical skills and gradual change.
Motivational Interviewing supports clients who are ambivalent about change by exploring personal motivation and enhancing commitment to goals. It pairs well with other approaches when addressing issues like addictions, lifestyle shifts, or behavior change.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Susan will work with each person to match methods to their goals, preferences, and situation, adjusting strategies as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers flexible access to care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during transitions, and connect with a licensed professional from different locations, all while tailoring the format to what works best for the individual.
