Evidence-Based Methods Delivered Online
Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. It is commonly used to address anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching practical skills for coping and problem solving.
Humanistic therapy emphasizes empathy, respect, and the client’s own capacity for growth. This approach supports self-awareness, self-love, and improved communication in relationships by creating a collaborative and accepting therapeutic relationship.
Psychodynamic techniques explore how past experiences and relationships influence current feelings and patterns. This work can help clients gain insight into recurring relationship issues, grief responses, and long-standing emotional concerns.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. As a licensed professional, Susan Richey works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as therapy progresses.
