How her approaches guide online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person's experience and creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space. It helps when someone needs to feel heard and to make their own choices about change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. It teaches practical skills for reducing anxiety and depressive symptoms and for changing unhelpful patterns.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, often called EMDR, is used to help people process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity. It can be helpful for trauma-related symptoms.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Susan will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that fit the client's needs. The process is collaborative and adjusted over time based on what helps most.
