How her approaches work online
Susan often uses client-centered therapy, which means she listens closely and follows what the client brings to the session. This approach helps people feel heard and shapes the work around their goals and values.She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood, and stress because it gives clear tools people can practice between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Susan collaborates with clients to decide which methods fit their needs and comfort. She will adapt session content over time based on progress and feedback so the work stays practical and relevant.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill practice, while phone sessions may be easier during a busy day or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging can be useful for shorter check-ins, tracking progress, or getting support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, and daily life.
