Therapeutic approaches and accessible online support



Susan Stewart draws on client-centered therapy, which prioritizes the person's own experience and encourages self-directed exploration - this approach helps when someone needs a supportive space to build self-esteem, clarify values, or navigate everyday stresses. She also uses trauma-focused therapy to address the impact of traumatic events and abuse, offering structured ways to process memories and reduce the ways trauma interferes with daily life. Existential therapy is another thread in her practice, inviting reflection on meaning, choice, and life transitions when people face questions about purpose, loss, or identity.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Susan works collaboratively with each person to identify the methods that best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time to support progress. This partnership helps ensure therapy feels relevant and effective for the individual's situation.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video or phone plus options for live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to fit support into busy lives or when attending in person is difficult. These modalities allow registered professionals like Susan to maintain continuity of care across different circumstances while providing accessible pathways to consistent therapeutic work.
