Online session options
Approach-driven online therapy that fits your life
Online sessions with Susan draw on Narrative Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Client-Centered work to address real problems in everyday language. Narrative Therapy helps people separate themselves from the problem by rewriting the story around it, useful for relationship patterns or ongoing worries. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on clarifying what matters to someone and taking small actions that align with those values, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy gives space for a person to be heard and led by their own priorities while the therapist reflects and supports.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Susan collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. She checks in about what feels useful and adjusts the plan so sessions stay relevant and practical.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for a fuller conversation and visual connection. Phone calls can fit a busy schedule or need less bandwidth. Live chat and text are helpful for shorter check-ins, brief coaching between sessions, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around work, family, and travel.
