About Susan
Susan uses a mix of approaches to match each person's needs. She listens first, then helps people notice patterns in thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. She also teaches coping skills for panic, mood swings, and overwhelming anxiety.
In sessions she focuses on building understanding of how past relationships shape present feelings. She uses client-centered techniques to follow the person's pace, and cognitive behavioral strategies to address unhelpful thinking. Mindfulness and DBT ideas are woven in when emotion regulation or distress tolerance are needed.
Susan aims to make therapy a practical part of everyday life. She helps people set small, achievable goals and practice skills between sessions. The emphasis is on steady progress and clearer ways to cope with life changes and relationship difficulties.
How attachment work and CBT translate to online care
Attachment-Based Therapy helps people see how early relationships shape current reactions and patterns. Online sessions can be a place to talk through those patterns, practice new ways of relating, and notice safety in the therapeutic relationship.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small behavioral experiments. In virtual sessions clients can learn clear strategies for panic, depression, and anxiety, then try them between meetings and report back for adjustments.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then adapt methods over time. Clients and therapist decide together which techniques to keep, change, or pause.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, and support practice of skills in daily life. Licensed professionals can guide clients in applying mindfulness, emotion regulation, and cognitive tools between sessions to help with stress, grief, and relationship concerns.
