Approaches for Online Care and Therapeutic Support
Susan Rick integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy into her online practice. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to clarify their values and take meaningful action while learning to accept difficult internal experiences - it can be helpful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathy, unconditional positive regard, and meeting each person where they are - it supports self-exploration, self-compassion, and strengthening communication. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) uses structured techniques to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and is often effective for anxiety, depression, and panic-related concerns.
Susan approaches selection of methods as a collaborative process. She works with each person to determine which combination of approaches fits their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies as therapy progresses to ensure practical and meaningful progress.
Online sessions with Susan are offered through video calls, phone appointments, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, maintain continuity during life changes, and access the support of a licensed professional from a convenient location.
