How Susan Uses Therapy Approaches Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values; this can help with anxiety, depression, and life-direction questions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like worry, low mood, or impulsive responses. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck about change by clarifying their reasons and building confidence to take the next step.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Susan collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She adapts techniques over time so sessions stay practical and relevant to daily life.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let the conversation feel more like an in-person visit, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is low or a camera isn’t convenient, and live chat or text-based messaging supports quick check-ins or brief skill practice between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to try different formats as needs change.
