How these approaches work in online therapy
Susan commonly uses client-centered therapy to keep sessions focused on what matters most to the person. That approach centers on listening, reflecting what you say, and helping you set your own goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, is another core method she uses to identify patterns of thinking and behavior and to practice small changes that reduce symptoms over time.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and how they respond to different methods. Together they decide which strategies to try and adjust them as needed based on progress and feedback.
The biography does not specify session formats, so please confirm current online options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also help people keep sessions consistent during major life disruptions or when dealing with disaster-related stress. Licensed professionals can adapt tools from client-centered and CBT work to an online setting so the focus stays on practical coping and steady progress.
