How Susanne works
She offers care for people facing prejudice, multicultural challenges, and issues tied to being LGBT. Susanne draws on several ways of working to meet different needs. She uses client-centered therapy to highlight a person's strengths and priorities, and narrative therapy to help people reframe how they tell their story.
She also incorporates trauma-focused methods and Internal Family Systems ideas when addressing difficult memories and inner parts. Sessions aim to be practical and straightforward. Clients can expect to talk through immediate problems, learn coping skills, and set small, doable goals.
Susanne tends to keep language plain and concrete so progress is easy to notice. Her background as an indigenous, multiracial woman informs a culturally aware approach. She pays attention to family of origin issues, communication problems, guilt and shame, and veteran and armed forces concerns.

Online support options
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's own goals and strengths. The therapist follows the client's lead, listens carefully, and helps people build on what already works for them. This approach is helpful for stress, anxiety, and confidence challenges.The Gottman Method targets relationship patterns and communication. It offers concrete tools to improve conversations, reduce conflict, and rebuild connection when relationships feel strained. Couples-style techniques from this method can be adapted in individual work to improve how people relate to others.
Narrative therapy helps people reframe their life stories. By examining the stories they tell about themselves, clients can find new meanings and reduce the influence of painful memories or labels. It is often useful for grief, shame, and multicultural concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. Sessions may combine elements from different approaches as needed to suit the situation.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people meet face to face and read nonverbal cues, while phone calls can work better when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging offer brief check-ins and greater flexibility for busy days. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a routine and to keep consistent progress.
