If you want straightforward help with anxiety, coping, or making changes, Susan offers an experienced, empathetic presence to walk alongside you.

How Susan Uses CBT and Client-Centered Work Online

CBT focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In sessions Susan helps people identify unhelpful thoughts, test new ways of thinking, and try small behavioral changes to reduce anxiety or improve mood. Client-centered therapy prioritizes the person's experience; she listens closely and follows the client's lead to build trust and clarify goals.

Finding the right approach is a process. Susan will collaborate with each person to decide which methods feel most useful. She tailors the mix of skills training and open conversation to the client's goals, preferences, and day-to-day demands.

Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which allow for flexibility in scheduling and format. Video sessions support more face-to-face interaction, phone sessions work well when less bandwidth is available, live chat or messaging can be useful for quick check-ins or when writing feels easier, and text-based messaging supports ongoing touchpoints between meetings. These formats help people fit therapy into busy routines and keep consistent progress over time.
