Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice their thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then take actions that align with their values. It is often used to address anxiety, stress and coping with life changes.

Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns influence current connections and emotional responses, with the aim of improving intimacy, communication and relationship challenges.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and teaches practical skills to change thoughts and behaviors, which can be effective for anxiety, depression and low self-esteem.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Susan works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit best based on their needs, goals and preferences, and licensed professionals can adapt techniques as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexible access to care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, family and travel, and to maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are not possible, while still working with experienced therapists who tailor treatment to individual concerns.
