How Susan’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Susan draws on Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person’s needs and priorities. That approach focuses on listening, reflecting what the person says, and letting goals emerge at a comfortable pace. It helps when someone needs a calm, steady place to sort through feelings.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thinking that fuel worry or low mood and to test small behavioral changes. CBT is useful for stress, anxiety, and depressive symptoms because it breaks problems into concrete steps. EMDR is used as another option for people with trauma-related symptoms when processing past distress is a treatment goal.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Susan will talk with each person about their history, goals, and preferences and then suggest which methods to try. The choice is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
