Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Sue commonly blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques and emotionally-focused methods. Client-centered work focuses on listening and supporting the client's own insight, which can help people feel heard and begin to make choices that match their values. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts and actions and offers practical steps to reduce anxiety or depressive patterns. Emotionally-focused therapy (EFT) helps identify and shift the emotional patterns that affect relationships and parenting.Choosing the right approach is part of the collaboration. Sue will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That process often starts with listening to immediate concerns, setting a few priorities, and trying concrete strategies to see what helps.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets people use visual cues for relationship or parenting work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or movement is a concern. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter check-ins and written reflections when that format feels most useful. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy family schedules and different day-to-day routines.
