Remote and flexible therapy formats
Susan integrates client-centered therapy with cognitive behavioral and mindfulness techniques to structure remote work that balances listening with active skill building. Client-centered therapy provides a collaborative foundation in which the person’s values and goals guide each step. Cognitive behavioral strategies help identify patterns of thinking and behavior to practice small, concrete changes. Mindfulness therapy introduces simple attention and grounding practices to use between sessions.
She also uses motivational interviewing to support readiness for change and solution-focused methods to set short-term goals. Trauma-focused therapy is available when attention to past events and their present impact is needed. Together these approaches allow sessions to alternate between reflective exploration and practical exercises, matching the pace the person prefers.
Remote sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Scheduling and participation are managed through a subscription arrangement that can be canceled at any time, and the format can be adjusted to fit communication preferences and clinical focus.
