Online sessions and therapeutic style
Susan offers online sessions that follow a client-centered foundation while drawing on targeted methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy and trauma-focused therapy. Client-centered work emphasizes listening, reflection, and collaboration so that goals and priorities come from the person in treatment. Cognitive behavioral techniques are used to explore patterns of thought and behavior and to build practical coping skills. Trauma-focused therapy provides structure for addressing distressing experiences with attention to pacing and stabilization.These approaches are combined to tailor each session to the goals identified by the client. Susan works collaboratively to select techniques and to monitor progress, adapting the balance of strategies as needs evolve. Internal Family Systems and motivational interviewing can be brought in when the clinical picture suggests they will support the goals discussed in session.
Online appointments are available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Scheduling and access follow the therapist’s practice processes, and sessions are delivered through the stated communication options to accommodate different preferences.
