Evidence-Based Therapy, Designed for Online Support
Susan Rick draws from several evidence-based approaches that translate well to online therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and building skills to respond differently, which can be useful for concerns like anxiety, depression, and stress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients make room for difficult feelings while taking steps toward what matters most, supporting resilience during life transitions and ongoing emotional challenges. Mindfulness Therapy builds awareness of thoughts, emotions, and body sensations in the moment, offering practical tools for grounding and coping when emotions feel intense.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Susan works collaboratively with clients to understand what they are facing, clarify goals, and choose strategies that fit their preferences and pace. Over time, sessions can adapt as needs change, whether the focus is communication, self-esteem, trauma-related stress, or mood concerns.
Online therapy makes it easier to access support in a format that fits real life. Clients can connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing flexibility for busy schedules, changing energy levels, or times when meeting face-to-face feels like too much.
