Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care
Susan Broderick draws from practical, supportive methods that can work well in an online setting. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk openly, clarify what they are feeling, and build self-trust while working through concerns like stress, grief, or major life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns in thoughts and behaviors and practicing new responses. It is often used to help with challenges such as anxiety, depression, and day-to-day coping, by turning insight into concrete skills clients can use between sessions. Solution-Focused Therapy keeps attention on strengths, goals, and small, realistic steps forward, which can be especially helpful when motivation feels low or when life feels overwhelming.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Susan works collaboratively with clients to understand their needs, goals, and preferences, then adjusts the focus of therapy over time to support steady progress.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. This range of options can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, keep momentum between sessions, and access support from the comfort of home.
