Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care
Susanna Cheatham draws from evidence-based approaches that can be effective in an online setting. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, respectful relationship where the client’s values and choices lead the way, which can be especially helpful when someone wants space to sort through stress, grief, relationship concerns, or life transitions at their own pace.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing patterns in thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, then practicing concrete skills to respond differently. It is often used to address anxiety, depression, and everyday stress by building practical tools that can be applied between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds structured skill-building around emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful when emotions feel intense or hard to manage.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Susanna collaborates with clients to clarify goals, identify what has or has not worked before, and choose strategies that match preferences and current needs.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. This can make it easier to keep momentum between sessions and fit support into a busy schedule.
