Practical approaches and online options
Susan uses evidence-based techniques that focus on changing thoughts and behaviors and building lasting skills. Cognitive approaches help people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and develop more balanced thoughts to reduce anxiety and low mood. Acceptance-based strategies help people learn how to accept difficult feelings while choosing values-driven actions that move them toward meaningful goals.Therapy is collaborative. Susan will work with each person to identify which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they try different tools and adjust the approach based on what helps most in day-to-day life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people work face-to-face from different locations. Phone sessions can be easier when lower bandwidth or a hands-free option is preferred. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to follow a steady plan of skill-building and progress tracking.
