Therapeutic Methods for Online Care

Dr. Susan Wise commonly integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment-Based Therapy into her online practice. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify personal values and develop psychological flexibility by learning to accept difficult thoughts while committing to meaningful actions - it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and patterns that keep people stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical strategies and skill-building, often helping with depression, anxiety, sleep problems, and addictive behaviors. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relational patterns formed early in life and explores how these influence current relationships, which can be helpful for couples work, relationship issues, and interpersonal difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Wise works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which allows for flexible scheduling and access from different locations. This variety of formats supports continuity of care and makes it easier for clients to engage in therapy around work, family, and other commitments.
