Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Susan commonly draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to guide her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a respectful, empathetic relationship that helps a person explore feelings and values at their own pace, which is useful for self-esteem and processing difficult experiences. CBT helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical strategies and exercises, often benefiting depression and attention-related challenges. DBT teaches skills for managing strong emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can be particularly helpful for anger and trauma-related symptoms.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Susan works with each person to understand their needs, goals, and preferences and then tailors interventions so the work feels relevant and manageable. That partnership helps shape treatment over time as progress and priorities evolve.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, maintain continuity when life is unpredictable, and access licensed professionals from different locations within the therapist's practice area. For many people, remote sessions provide a convenient route to consistent, effective therapeutic work.
