Online support

How Susan’s approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then take actions that match what matters to them. It suits issues like anxiety, grief, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, which can reduce stress and improve mood across many concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Susan collaborates with each person to test methods and adjust the plan based on goals and what feels most helpful. She listens to preferences and adapts techniques so sessions are practical and goal-focused.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief updates, homework check-ins, and ongoing connection between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while using the approaches above in flexible ways.
