How her approaches shape online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting connection. It helps people feel heard and guides choices based on their goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) examines thoughts and behaviors and teaches concrete skills for mood, anxiety, and addiction-related patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) brings practical emotion-regulation and distress-tolerance tools to manage intense feelings and reduce impulsive responses.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Susan collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit best for their situation and preferences. She adjusts strategies as goals evolve so the plan stays useful and realistic.
Confirm current session options before booking to know how sessions are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, shorten travel time, and allow follow-up conversations between meetings. It also lets people use tools learned in session in their everyday routines. Licensed professionals and therapists often find that these options help people stay consistent with treatment and apply new skills more quickly.
