Background and approach
Sessions are centered on what matters most to each person and move at a pace that feels manageable. Susan uses a mix of talk-based and skill-focused methods. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thinking and dialectical behavior strategies to improve emotional regulation.
Mindfulness and client-centered methods help people stay present and feel heard during the process. Practical tools and real-life practice are part of the work. Susan helps clients set small, achievable goals and develop routines that support mood and focus.
She pays attention to how daily habits affect stress and energy levels. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes. Susan helps people notice what’s working, make adjustments, and build reliable coping skills.
Over time clients often feel more confident in handling setbacks and clearer about their next steps.
How Susan's Approaches Translate to Online Sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's needs, helping people feel understood and guiding the conversation around their goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, adds skills for managing intense emotions and improving coping in stressful moments.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Susan works together with clients to try methods that fit their goals and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress unfolds. The intention is to find tools that feel useful in day-to-day life and to build skills at a comfortable pace.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction when visual cues help, phone sessions can be used when a quieter or lower-bandwidth option is needed, and live chat or text messaging support shorter check-ins and on-the-go reflection. These formats offer flexibility so people can use the style that works best for managing anxiety, mood, and life changes.
