About Susan
Susan approaches therapy with empathy and respect for each person’s unique story, combining practical skills and reflective exploration to help clients build resilience and clearer life direction. She draws on evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing to tailor treatment to individual needs. Whether the goal is recovery from substance use, better stress management, or rediscovering purpose, Susan offers steady professional support and collaborative care for those ready to make change.
Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Susan draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical skills for managing anxiety, stress, and depression. CBT focuses on changing the relationship between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to produce measurable improvement in daily functioning.
She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT can be especially useful for managing intense emotions, relationship conflicts, and urges related to addiction.
Susan takes a collaborative approach to selecting the best therapeutic methods, working with each person to match treatment to their goals, circumstances, and preferences. Together they review what is working and adjust strategies as needed to support lasting progress.
Online therapy with Susan is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for people balancing work, family, or health concerns. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals from home or other convenient locations while maintaining continuity of care and adapting to changing schedules.
