Background and approach
That can mean short coaching-style tools or longer conversations about patterns and values. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused. People typically talk through current problems, learn coping skills, and try new ways to handle emotions and relationships.
Susan draws on mindfulness and cognitive strategies to help shift unhelpful thoughts and build steady routines. She also brings emotionally focused methods to work on connection and communication for those who want to improve relationships. Acceptance-based ideas are used when people need to make space for hard feelings while still moving toward meaningful goals.
ADHD is listed among her focus areas for people who want support managing attention and daily structure. Susan aims to make therapy practical. She works at whatever pace feels right and helps people set realistic steps.
Recovery and change are presented as a process with room for setbacks and new learning.
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on clarifying personal values and taking meaningful action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It helps people who feel stuck move toward what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete techniques to change unhelpful patterns and reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and daily routine. That may mean combining mindfulness, acceptance, and cognitive tools to create a plan that fits the person's life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make care more accessible. Video is useful for deeper conversations and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or screen time is limited. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, homework support, or coaching-style prompts between sessions. These options let people fit therapy into work breaks, evenings, or travel while keeping continuity of care.
