How Susan works
Her work addresses both substance and process addictions along with related concerns such as codependency and family of origin issues. She also supports people dealing with trauma, sexual assault, and post-traumatic stress, and with mood concerns including depression and bipolar challenges. Dr.
Harris draws on approaches like client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior tools, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. That mix lets her shift methods to what a person needs most in the moment. She also helps with practical relationship issues, communication problems, anger, and the stress of caregiving or aging.

Therapeutic approaches for online healing
Dr. Harris uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, listening-first space where people set their own goals and feel heard. This approach helps when someone needs validation and a caring guide to sort out priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and change them into actions that reduce anxiety or depression. It is useful for stress, mood problems, and many daily challenges. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches practical skills for emotional regulation and distress tolerance; it is often used when strong feelings and relationship struggles interfere with daily life.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, needs, and preferences and then try methods that fit. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made over time based on what helps most.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to give flexibility around schedules and comfort. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper interaction. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and messaging are useful for shorter check-ins or when writing through a problem feels easier. These options make it simpler to keep consistent therapy while balancing daily life.
