How Susan works
Sessions focus on what matters in daily life and on skills that can be used between meetings. Her style is relational and collaborative. She centers the therapeutic relationship and partners with people to identify patterns that keep them stuck.
Susan blends talking, skill-building, and reflective work so clients learn new ways to cope with emotions and challenges. She draws from approaches such as attachment-based work, cognitive behavioral strategies, emotionally-focused techniques, and dialectical behavior skills. These methods are used to address feelings like abandonment, guilt, shame, and to improve communication and intimacy-related concerns.
Susan tailors a plan to each person’s needs and goals. She helps clients set small, achievable steps and checks progress along the way. Her aim is practical change that improves day-to-day functioning and relationships.

Online support options
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current connections and emotional responses. Online sessions use conversation and reflective exercises to help people notice patterns, repair interpersonal fears, and rebuild trust in relationships.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, identifies unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical strategies to change them. In virtual sessions this often includes short at-home exercises, thought records, and skill practice between meetings to track progress.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together you will choose which methods to try. That shared decision making helps tailor sessions to real-life needs and keeps work focused and relevant.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video works well for deeper conversation and visual cues, phone can be lower bandwidth and easier to fit into a break, and chat or messaging allows short check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to continue work consistently over time.
