How her approaches work in online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and naming strong emotions and then using that awareness to change interaction patterns. This approach is often used when people notice repeated relationship or emotional cycles that feel hard to change. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and building a collaborative relationship. The therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects what she hears, and helps clients clarify their goals and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is useful for mood concerns, anxiety, and coping with life changes. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Susan will discuss these methods with a client and together decide which fits best based on needs and goals. That collaborative process helps shape session focus and homework between visits. The biography did not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking.
