Client-Centered and CBT Approaches for Online Care

Dr. Susie Stubbs uses client-centered therapy to prioritize each person's perspective and strengths. This approach focuses on listening, empathy, and supporting clients as they explore their values and make choices, and it is often helpful for people facing life transitions, career decisions, or relationship concerns.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical method that helps clients identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is commonly used to address stress, anxiety, mood challenges, and patterns that interfere with daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Dr. Stubbs works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions over time so therapy stays relevant and effective.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule and to maintain continuity of care when in-person meetings are not possible, while still allowing licensed professionals and therapists to provide focused support and practical strategies.
