How Susan works
Solution-Focused Therapy helps people find immediate steps that move them toward their next goal. Susan also works with people facing grief, career uncertainty, compassion fatigue, and major life changes. She has developed experience supporting caregivers and people affected by autism spectrum conditions and intellectual disability.
Communication problems and questions about life purpose are other areas she addresses. Sessions are geared toward what each person needs in the moment. Susan blends problem-solving with steady listening so clients can practice new skills between meetings.
She aims for short-term gains and longer-term growth depending on the situation. Susan accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English. She offers multiple session styles to fit different schedules and preferences.
To start, a person completes a brief matching questionnaire and schedules according to the therapist's availability.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches suited to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding a person's experiences and priorities. In practice this means the therapist listens closely and follows the client's lead to set goals that matter to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and teaches specific skills to change them, which is useful for stress, anxiety, and coping with change.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss options and collaborate with the client to pick methods that fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. Treatment can adapt over time as those goals shift.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more accessible. Video calls let people read tone and facial expression. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief updates, coaching-style support, or when writing out thoughts feels easier. These formats offer flexibility for work schedules, caregiving responsibilities, and different communication preferences.
