Teletherapy and Clinical Style
Susan provides online sessions by video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging so that people can engage from home with flexible scheduling. Her teletherapy approach reflects the same direct and compassionate stance she uses in person and is designed to match each person’s preferred pace and goals.
She integrates Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to balance empathic listening with practical skill building. From a client-centered frame she prioritizes the person’s goals and perspective; from CBT she introduces strategies such as cognitive reframing and behavioral steps to address symptoms like anxiety, mood changes, or sleep disruption. She also draws on Motivational Interviewing to support readiness for change when ambivalence is present.
Those seeking collaboration will find an emphasis on developing a unique plan that fits their style: exploring personal narratives, identifying actionable steps, and connecting with resources. Communication options include video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to support different needs and preferences.
