Approaches that Guide Online Therapy and Support

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the client determines the pace and focus of work. This approach emphasizes empathy and understanding and is useful for building self-awareness, improving self-esteem, and navigating life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, skills-based approach that helps identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and replace them with more effective options. CBT is often used for stress, anxiety, and coping with change because it emphasizes concrete tools and measurable progress.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) combines acceptance and change strategies to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. It can be especially helpful for managing intense emotions and improving relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Susan works collaboratively with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences and to adjust methods over time so the approach fits the individual.

Online therapy offers flexible access to care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule appointments, maintain continuity during life changes, and receive support from licensed professionals in a format that suits each person’s lifestyle and needs.
