How Susan works

Online support options
Approaches that translate well to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting pushed around by them, then take steps toward what matters. It is useful for anxiety, depression, grief, and life changes. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and supporting a person’s own pace and goals; it helps build trust and self-worth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like panic, low mood, and stress.Susan sees finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She works with each person to figure out which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts techniques over time based on what helps most.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people talk face to face when schedules or travel are difficult. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support ongoing reflection and quick check-ins between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit work on coping skills and real-life practice into a busy routine.
