Background and approach

Susan uses practical strategies so people can manage symptoms and get back to daily life. Sessions emphasize clear skills and real-life practice. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral approaches and acceptance work to help change unhelpful thoughts and build valued routines.

Mindfulness and emotion-focused ideas are brought in when they help people notice feelings and respond differently. Susan adapts how she teaches to match each person. Some people learn best by talking things through.

Others prefer worksheets, coaching-style tasks, or short practice exercises they can try between sessions. She works with clients to choose what fits their learning style and goals. Her aim is practical progress rather than labels or jargon.

She helps people set concrete goals, try small changes, and measure what works. That step-by-step focus is meant to make therapy feel usable and relevant to everyday life.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. Online sessions can include short exercises and homework that build a life-focused routine. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. In remote sessions this often looks like worksheets, behavioral experiments, and step-by-step plans to practice between meetings. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on understanding and shifting strong emotions in relationships; it can help people clarify emotional needs and try new ways of connecting or responding.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and recommend methods that fit each person. That process is collaborative and adaptable over time, so techniques can be changed if something isn't helping.

Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skill teaching and deeper conversations. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people share brief updates, get reminders, or try coaching-style prompts between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to practice new skills in real life.
