Background and approach
Susan pays attention to how health, identity, and family history shape someone's day-to-day life. She blends several evidence-based methods to match what each person needs. Treatment includes skills for managing symptoms, strategies to change unhelpful thoughts, and exercises to clarify values and goals.
The focus is on small, doable steps that fit into a client's routine. Susan has experience supporting people with addiction, depression, ADHD, trauma, and compassion fatigue. She also helps with parenting stress, caregiving burdens, body image, chronic illness, and issues that arise after separation or loss.

How therapy approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and then act toward what matters most. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and practicing different behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. Choosing a therapeutic approach is often a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and how symptoms show up day to day. Together they decide whether acceptance-based work, cognitive skills, or a client-centered style feels like the best fit, and that plan is adjusted over time. Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when distance or time are barriers. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be a quick check-in between appointments. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief coaching, ongoing check-ins, or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options aim to increase flexibility so people can access consistent support that matches their routine and needs.Questions people ask
