Evidence-Based Support, Designed for Online Connection
Susan Yvette Underwood, LPC, uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help clients understand patterns, build coping skills, and move through difficult experiences with more steadiness. For example, skills-based approaches can help people notice unhelpful thought cycles, practice new responses to anxiety or panic, and strengthen day-to-day resilience during life changes. Trauma-informed work can also support clients in gently processing the impact of past experiences, reducing the pull of guilt and shame, and creating a greater sense of self-trust over time. When communication and relationships feel strained, structured, collaborative therapy can help clients clarify needs, set boundaries, and practice healthier ways of connecting.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Susan works collaboratively with clients to understand what they want from therapy and what feels most supportive, then adapts the work to fit their goals, preferences, and pace.
Online therapy makes it easier to access consistent support from home or wherever a client feels comfortable. Sessions can happen through video calls or phone sessions, and clients can also use live chat or text-based messaging. This flexibility can be especially helpful for busy schedules, limited transportation, or times when writing feels easier than speaking.
