Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Susan Sigl draws from client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to support people in online settings. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a warm, empathetic space where the therapist follows the client's lead, helping individuals explore their feelings, increase self-understanding, and build confidence during life transitions. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical tools to manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress.

Deciding which approach fits best is part of the therapeutic process. Susan works collaboratively with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts strategies over time so the work aligns with what each client finds most helpful.

Online therapy offers flexibility for people balancing work, family, and other commitments. Through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, clients can access consistent support without traveling to an office. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to choose the communication style that best suits individual comfort and schedules, while still working with a licensed professional toward meaningful change.
