Therapeutic approaches and online support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify their values and take meaningful action even when difficult thoughts and feelings are present. It teaches practical skills for accepting unpleasant experiences while committing to behaviors that align with what matters most, often helping with anxiety, depression, and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors and offers structured tools to challenge unhelpful thinking and build more effective coping strategies. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress, and many day-to-day problems.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship where the therapist listens deeply and reflects the client’s experience. This approach supports self-exploration, builds confidence, and helps people find their own solutions to relationship, self-esteem, and identity concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Susan works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time so the work remains relevant and helpful.
Online therapy offers flexible access to care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, maintain continuity when schedules change, and connect with a registered professional from different locations, while preserving the collaborative and skills-based nature of the work.
