How Susan’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building understanding. The therapist reflects what a person says and helps them clarify goals and values. This approach supports work on identity, relationships, and self-esteem concerns common in early adulthood.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies unhelpful thoughts and patterns and teaches practical strategies to change them. CBT is often used for depression, anxiety, and mood regulation. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and reducing impulsive behavior.
Finding the right mix of approaches is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, test methods, and adjust plans as work progresses. Clients decide which strategies feel helpful and which need changing.
The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow quieter, focused check-ins. Some formats may be better for skills practice while others suit longer conversations; discuss preferences when scheduling to match sessions to everyday life.
