How Susan works
Sessions mix reflection with exercises aimed at improving coping, communication, and decision making. Susan draws on several therapeutic approaches to fit each person's needs. She uses client-centered listening to understand the whole person.
She brings techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to change unhelpful thinking and from acceptance and commitment therapy to clarify values and take meaningful action. Her experience spans many life challenges, including parenting stress, career transitions, intimacy issues, trauma and abuse, bipolar concerns, and caregiving or aging-related stress. She also addresses eating and sleeping problems, substance issues, and compassion fatigue.
Susan works with people dealing with blended family dynamics, codependency, grief after loss, and recovery from natural or human-caused disasters. Susan offers a calm, collaborative style. She helps people set realistic goals, practice new skills between sessions, and track progress.
The approach is practical, steady, and tailored to each person's situation, with attention to both immediate relief and longer-term growth.

Online support options
Flexible therapy approaches for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, meaningful steps toward those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. This approach can be useful for anxiety, depression, chronic stress, and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and replace them with more useful habits, which helps with mood, sleep, and coping skills.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Susan will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and comfort level. She checks in on what helps and adjusts techniques over time so sessions stay relevant and useful.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face discussion and visual cues, phone sessions can fit a quick check-in or low-bandwidth option, and messaging or live chat can work well for short updates or between-session support. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping focus on progress and practice.
