Therapeutic approaches and accessible online care

Dr. Susan Frauenholtz integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) into her online practice. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy, respect, and collaboration - the therapist listens carefully and supports each person in discovering their own goals and strengths, which is helpful for relationship concerns, self-esteem, and life transitions. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and developing practical skills to reduce anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating difficulties. She also uses motivational interviewing to help people find and strengthen their own reasons for change, which can be especially useful for addictions, caregiver stress, and career or health behavior shifts.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Frauenholtz works collaboratively with clients to match methods to individual needs, values, and goals, adjusting strategies over time as progress and priorities evolve. This collaborative stance helps clients feel involved and invested in the path forward.

Online therapy with Dr. Frauenholtz is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules, travel, or international availability. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, try different session formats, and access licensed professionals from wherever is most convenient.
