How Susan Uses Structured Approaches in Online Sessions
Susan commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and then test different, practical alternatives. CBT is aimed at problems like anxiety, depression, and stress by breaking down situations into thoughts, feelings, and actions. Client-centered methods are used alongside CBT to keep the conversation focused on what the client says is most important, offering space for reflection and planning. EMDR is also listed as a trauma-focused option she may use for processing distressing memories when that fits the person's needs.Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist reviews symptoms, personal goals, and preferences and then suggests methods to try. That plan can change as the client notices what is or is not helping; adjustments are expected and part of the process.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find that fitting sessions into their week is easier with remote work, shorter check-ins, or scheduling around work and caregiving. Online sessions can make it simpler to keep momentum between visits and to practice skills in everyday routines without requiring travel.
