Evidence-based approaches and online access
Susan uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person's concerns. One common approach focuses on skill-building for anxiety and stress management, teaching breathing, pacing, and behavioral changes to reduce worry and improve sleep. Another approach centers on problem-focused work for relationships and parenting, helping people identify patterns, set boundaries, and try new ways of communicating that can ease conflict and rebuild trust.Choosing the right technique is part of the process. Susan collaborates with each client to pick approaches that match their goals, needs, and daily life. She adjusts strategies as progress is tracked so the plan stays practical and realistic for a busy parent.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into a day. Video lets people work face-to-face when schedules allow. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging offer flexible, ongoing contact between appointments for quick updates or reflections. These options help people maintain consistency while balancing family and work demands.
