How her approaches fit into online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building trust. In practice this means the therapist follows the client’s lead, asks questions, and reflects what she hears to help people feel understood and move toward goals. It’s useful for stress, life changes, and relationship or family concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood. Susan uses CBT to teach small skills that interrupt unhelpful thinking and change routine behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and sleep problems.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity. These skills can help when emotions feel overwhelming or when someone wants better focus and calm in daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and she works collaboratively to decide what fits. Together they set clear, achievable goals and adjust methods as progress is made. The therapist will suggest techniques, check in about how they feel, and change course when needed.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. Video calls are close to face-to-face meetings and work well for learning skills together. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Chat and text sessions allow short check-ins or ongoing written work between live sessions and can fit into busy days.
