Integrating Therapeutic Approaches into Online Care
Suzanne draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify what matters most to them, learn practical ways to accept difficult feelings, and take committed actions toward meaningful goals - an approach helpful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, and problems with sleep or eating. Attachment-Based Therapy informs her work with relationship and family concerns by exploring how early and current relational patterns shape emotions and interactions, helping people develop more secure and connected ways of relating.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Suzanne works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She integrates techniques as appropriate and adapts the plan over time based on what is most helpful.
Online therapy with Suzanne is available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, engage in regular sessions, and access support from home or other locations, while allowing therapists and licensed professionals to tailor the format to individual treatment needs.
