Approach to Online Therapy and Treatment Methods
Susan uses approaches that emphasize values, relationships, and practical skill building. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, committed steps toward those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts or feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and replacing them with more effective coping strategies for anxiety, depression, and mood problems. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Susan will work with each person to decide which methods match their goals and preferences, and she will adjust the plan as progress is made. The aim is to blend techniques so they feel usable in day-to-day life rather than relying on any single method. If you are considering online therapy, confirm the specific session formats Susan currently offers before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time so therapy can be part of regular routines. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and CBT tools to work well in remote sessions, helping people practice skills between meetings and track progress over time.Areas of expertise
