How Susan's Therapeutic Approaches Work Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take committed action toward those values while learning to live alongside difficult thoughts and feelings - it is often useful for anxiety, depression, and issues related to purpose and identity.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, offering practical skills for managing symptoms of anxiety, mood disorders, and many forms of stress.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and a collaborative relationship in which the client leads the pace and focus of work, which can be especially helpful for building self-esteem and processing trauma or relationship concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process - Susan works collaboratively with clients and licensed professionals to determine which strategies fit each person’s goals, needs, and preferences. She adapts methods over time so therapy stays useful and relevant.

Online sessions via video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer practical flexibility for busy schedules, geographic limitations, or varying comfort levels with in-person care. These options make it easier to maintain continuity, access consistent support, and use therapy in ways that fit daily life while working toward meaningful change.
