Susan Gibson, NCPS

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Susan works primarily from a client-centered perspective, which focuses on listening deeply and responding to each person's experience so they feel understood and respected. This approach helps people explore values, emotions, and personal strengths at a comfortable pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT is used to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; it is often helpful for anxiety, stress, and mood-related concerns by teaching practical skills for coping and problem solving. Motivational Interviewing supports clients who feel stuck or ambivalent about change by exploring their motivations and building commitment to realistic goals.

Susan approaches the choice of methods collaboratively - she will work with each client to identify which approaches best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapt the plan as therapy progresses. Clients are invited to be active partners in shaping the focus and pace of work.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, to connect from different locations, and to continue momentum between in-person appointments when needed. Licensed professionals, including therapists like Susan, aim to make care practical and approachable so people can engage in meaningful change from wherever they are.
