Background and approach
Sessions are aimed at making small, usable changes that add up over time. Susan mixes methods that match each person’s needs. She uses cognitive strategies to shift unhelpful thoughts, mindfulness to calm the nervous system, and client-centered listening to help people feel heard.
Together with clients she builds steps that fit daily life rather than abstract goals. Her practice reflects a long history of working with many kinds of concerns, from body-image and eating issues to aging and coping after disasters. She brings steady, respectful guidance when problems feel complex or overwhelming.
Susan offers a straightforward, compassionate style. She listens first, then helps clients try tools and notice what works. The aim is clearer choices, better coping, and a stronger sense of direction over time.
How Susan’s Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts without being ruled by them and then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, life transitions, and when worry keeps someone stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. It is often used for anxiety, sleep problems, and mood concerns. Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and responding to a person’s experience with warmth and acceptance so they can explore feelings and find their own solutions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, try methods that fit their situation, and adjust over time. The process is collaborative - clients test what helps and keep what works.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen. Video calls let people meet face to face for deeper conversation. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to check in between sessions or for shorter, focused exchanges. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care and to fit therapy into a busy life.
