Approaches that fit busy family lives
Dr. Sullivan uses client-centered work to build a cooperative, respectful space where parents can talk through worries and set practical goals. That approach focuses on listening, reflecting what matters to you, and partnering on solutions that fit your routine.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which breaks problems into thinking, feeling, and doing. CBT helps people and parents try specific strategies for anxiety, procrastination, impulsivity, and low mood, and then tests what works in everyday life.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Dr. Sullivan works together with each person to decide which strategies suit their goals and family rhythms. She adapts plans over time so tools match real-life needs rather than idealized routines.
Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different days and energy levels. Video calls work well for deeper conversation and skill teaching. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat or text messaging can support brief updates, homework check-ins, or shorter coaching moments between longer sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to use around school, work, and family obligations.
