How Susan’s approaches translate to online therapy

Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people process past hurts in a paced, supportive way. It focuses on understanding how traumatic events affect daily life and then working through those memories and responses in manageable steps.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, emphasizes helping people notice what matters to them and take small actions that match those values. It can reduce avoidance and build a clearer sense of purpose when life feels chaotic.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in relationships and how early bonds shape current reactions. This work can improve closeness, communication, and trust by identifying repeating patterns and trying new ways of relating.

Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. Susan will work with each person to decide which approaches fit their goals and preferences, adjusting the plan as needed over time.

If you are considering online work, confirm the session options before booking because formats are not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists often adapt exercises and coping practices for a remote setting so the work can move forward even when life is full.
