How Susan works

Sessions are built around trust and steady listening. Jill aims to create a calm space where people can speak honestly and try out new ways of handling stress and relationships. She supports parents dealing with parenting strain and individuals facing blended family or caregiver stress.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that align with personal values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and finding direction during life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills to reduce unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, mood concerns, and coping with stress.
Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current ways of relating and feeling. It can aid people dealing with attachment issues, relationship patterns, and caregiver stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences, and adjustments are made as needed over time.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for deeper conversation and relational work, phone can fit a break at work or require less bandwidth, and messaging or live chat can be a shorter check-in or a way to stay connected between sessions. These options help people access care around work, family, and daily life.
