How Susan integrates EFT, client-centered work, and online sessions
Susan uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people identify and work with strong emotions and attachment patterns. EFT focuses on recognizing emotional responses, understanding how they shape relationships and behavior, and trying new emotional responses to change old patterns.She also uses client-centered therapy which emphasizes listening closely and responding to what matters most to the client. That approach helps people feel understood and clarifies personal goals. Existential therapy appears in her work when people are wrestling with life purpose and meaning; it helps surface values and choices that guide next steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Susan collaborates with clients to decide which methods fit their goals and daily life. She explains options, tries techniques in session, and adjusts the plan based on what is helpful.
