About Susan
Susan approaches each person with respect for where they are and an emphasis on building strengths and practical plans for change. She values the courage it takes to seek help and works to ensure people do not feel alone as they address difficult issues.
Trained in a variety of treatment methods, Susan stays current with evolving approaches and frequently draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her work. She includes education and homework to extend progress beyond sessions and models a balanced lifestyle in her own practice. Susan maintains regular office hours Wednesday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and Saturdays from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. If evening appointments are needed, she suggests looking for a therapist with that availability.
Approaches and Online Support for Practical Change
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person from their own perspective and creating a safe, respectful space for exploring concerns - it is well suited to relationship issues, low self-esteem, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to stress or depression and teaches concrete skills to change those patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and problem-focused goals. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on identifying goals and practical steps toward them, emphasizing strengths and small changes that lead to progress.
Susan works collaboratively with people to determine which approach or combination of approaches best fits their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they assess what is most likely to help and adjust the plan as therapy progresses, making changes based on what is working.
Online therapy offers flexibility by allowing sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, which can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, manage caregiving responsibilities, or attend from different locations. These options support continuity of care and make regular access to licensed professionals more convenient for many people.
