How Sue's Approaches Work Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and building understanding. The therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects what they say, and helps people identify their own goals and strengths. This approach fits situations where people need acceptance and a clear space to work through feelings.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It uses simple exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people name and shift stronger emotions that affect relationships. It can be useful for improving communication, closeness, and managing intense reactions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods in session, and adjust the plan based on what feels most helpful. This is a collaborative process where client preferences guide decisions.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people use visual cues for deeper conversation. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief updates, homework check-ins, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and keep momentum between sessions.
