Background and approach
She also helps with low self-esteem, anger, and compassion fatigue. Susan works with attachment issues and communication problems that often underlie conflict. She helps clients understand patterns and then practice new ways to respond.
Sessions focus on real-life steps you can try between meetings. Her approach draws from several methods, including client-centered work that follows the person's lead, and cognitive behavioral techniques that break down unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses emotion-focused and skills-based ideas when feelings feel overwhelming.
Susan structures sessions to match each person's goals and pace. She talks with clients about what matters most and adjusts the plan over time. People who want clear guidance and practical tools often find this style useful.
Therapeutic approaches and online options
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the person's priorities. It helps people clarify what matters and build confidence in making changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and actions keep problems going and teaches small, practical steps to shift those patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, mixes skills for managing strong emotions with ways to tolerate distress and improve relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then suggest methods to try. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress is reviewed.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and follow longer sessions. Phone can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging offer brief, flexible contact during busy weeks. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other schedules and to keep practicing skills between sessions.
