She works with adults facing ADHD, grief, trauma, and questions about identity and life purpose. Her manner is warm and affirming, and she aims to make the work feel practical and doable.
In sessions she blends practical talk with attention to emotions and patterns. She uses techniques from cognitive behavioral approaches to help change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Background and approach
She also draws on attachment ideas to look at how early relationships shape current reactions and connections. Susan mixes acceptance-based ideas with skills training so people can both notice difficult feelings and take steps that match their values. She offers coaching-style guidance for career and life-direction questions alongside therapy for mood and anxiety concerns.
The focus is on small, clear steps that lead to better day-to-day coping. Her background includes nearly two decades of work as a counselor and executive coach in Colorado. Susan describes her style as interactive and respectful; she collaborates with each person to design a plan that fits their goals.
She works to balance insight with hands-on strategies so progress can be tracked and adjusted. People choose her when they want supportive, practical help for recurring patterns, relationship struggles, or life transitions. Sessions aim to build skills, increase self-understanding, and create a clearer path forward.
Therapeutic approaches for online counseling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life-direction work. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns affect current connections and emotional responses, which can help with relationship struggles and feelings of loneliness.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the person to identify goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust the plan over time. That shared decision-making helps shape which techniques are emphasized in sessions.
Online therapy with Susan is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people use face-to-face interaction for deeper emotional work. Phone sessions can be a good low-bandwidth option or fit a short break at work. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, skills practice, and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep momentum between appointments.
