Approaches that shape online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on values and small actions that move someone toward what matters, and it is often useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current patterns. It helps people understand connection needs and improve how they relate to others, which can be helpful for relationship concerns and intimacy-related issues.
Susan uses these approaches collaboratively with clients. She will listen to your goals, try different methods, and help decide which approach fits best. The plan can change as needs and priorities evolve during work together.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Video calls let you use visual cues for deeper conversation, phone sessions are handy when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for shorter check-ins, and text messaging can support ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, childcare, or other routines.
