Remote sessions and therapeutic approach
Susan offers online options for those who prefer not to meet in person, with sessions available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats are used to deliver the same clinical approaches she employs in office-based work, adapted to fit each person’s needs and communication style.
She uses cognitive behavioral therapy to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, presented in clear, skill-building exercises. Mindfulness therapy is offered to help cultivate present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity, using simple practices that can be integrated into daily life. Client-centered methods guide sessions with an emphasis on the person’s own goals and perspectives, while motivational interviewing supports readiness for change when that is a focus.
People who seek practical tools, structured skills work, or a reflective space to process trauma and stress often find this mix of approaches a collaborative fit. Sessions by video, phone, chat, or messaging allow flexibility in how therapy proceeds and how support is accessed.
