How Suzanne’s Approaches Translate to Online Therapy
Client-centered work focuses on building understanding and a respectful connection. Online sessions use that same approach so the person feels heard and decisions about goals come from their priorities. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors; delivered online it can include real-time practice and homework to try between sessions. Mindfulness therapy teaches short, attention-focused exercises that can be guided during a video call or reinforced with messaging for daily practice.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Suzanne collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. She checks in and adjusts techniques over time so sessions remain practical and relevant.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is often used to build rapport and observe nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, quick skill reminders, or when someone prefers written communication. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into daily life.
