Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Susan commonly integrates Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into her work. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a collaborative, empathetic relationship in which the therapist follows the client’s lead to build self-understanding and personal growth - it is often helpful for issues like self-esteem, life transitions, and relationship concerns. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, offering practical tools for managing anxiety, depression, and stress.

She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) when trauma-related memories and symptoms are a central concern; EMDR involves structured processing that can help reduce the intensity of distressing memories and their impact on daily functioning. Susan approaches treatment collaboratively, working with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences rather than prescribing a single path.

Online therapy with Susan is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing flexibility around work, family, and mobility. These options make it easier to maintain regular sessions, access support when life gets busy, and continue therapeutic momentum from different locations, while still working with licensed professionals and therapists who can adapt approaches to each client’s situation.
