Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Susan uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as part of her practice. Client-Centered Therapy involves listening closely and following the client's lead so sessions match each person's pace and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and lift mood.

She may also draw on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotional regulation and coping, especially when strong emotions or relationship conflict are present. These skills teach breathing room, clearer communication, and steadying strategies that people can practice day to day.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust plans as progress is made. Clients help shape which tools they use and how quickly they move forward.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, support shorter check-ins during a workday, or let someone choose not to be on camera. Ask about the available session formats when you start the matching process to find a plan that fits your routine.
