Online support options
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Suzanne commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where a person can lead the conversation and identify what matters most. This approach helps with self-esteem, identity questions, and emotional support during life transitions.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to spot and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and mood management because it breaks concerns into clear steps and practical exercises.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Suzanne will discuss goals and preferences and suggest methods that match a person's needs. The choice of techniques is collaborative and may shift as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and do deeper work. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and text are useful for brief check-ins or when writing helps someone process thoughts. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and fit therapy into a busy life.
