How Susan's approaches fit into online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when emotions are hard. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying practical behavior changes to reduce distress and improve everyday functioning. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus during difficult moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Susan collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. She listens to what is working or not, and adapts tools so they make sense in the client’s daily life.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm which online options are available before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also gives space to try mindfulness exercises or CBT worksheets between meetings, helping people apply new skills to real situations.
