Therapeutic approaches and online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the therapist follows the client's lead and helps them explore their values, emotions, and goals. This approach supports self-discovery and is useful for people seeking greater clarity about life direction, relationships, and self-worth.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It is practical and skill-focused, and it often helps with anxiety, depression, and mood regulation by teaching strategies to manage thoughts and reactions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. It is particularly helpful for those who experience intense emotions, impulsivity, or difficulties in relationships and communication.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Susan will work with clients to determine which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts techniques over time to support progress and well-being.
Online therapy using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people balancing work, family, and other responsibilities. These options make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals and allow therapists to provide tailored care in ways that fit a client's schedule and comfort.
