Remote care using structured and emotion-focused approaches
Susan offers online work that combines client-centered principles with structured methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. In brief, cognitive behavioral techniques focus on identifying thought and behavior patterns and developing practical steps to address them, while a client-centered stance emphasizes collaboration and adapting sessions to the individual’s priorities and pace.
For relationship and attachment concerns she draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy and the Gottman Method to explore emotional patterns and interactional cycles. These approaches help translate emotional experience into clearer communication and collaborative problem solving in sessions.
Sessions are conducted via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. The online setting is used to apply the same therapeutic tools she uses in person, with a focus on what methods best match a person’s needs and communication preferences.
