CBT-Informed Online Therapy for Real-Life Change
Janice Susman uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), an approach that helps people notice how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence one another. CBT can be especially useful for concerns like anxiety, stress, low mood, and confidence issues by focusing on practical skills and new ways of responding to everyday challenges.CBT often includes identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, building coping strategies, and practicing small, realistic steps that support motivation and self-esteem. It can also be helpful for relationship stress by clarifying needs, strengthening communication, and improving how someone responds during conflict or change.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Janice collaborates with clients to understand what they want from therapy, what has or has not worked before, and what feels most comfortable. Together, they can tailor the pace and focus to fit the client’s goals and preferences.
