Background and approach

Together with each person she sets small, achievable goals and checks progress along the way. Her work covers a wide range of concerns, including relationship strain, parenting stress, sleep problems, low self-esteem, and substance use challenges. She also offers help with life transitions, career stress, and complexities such as attachment and body image worries.

Susan draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts them to each person’s needs. Sessions focus on developing coping skills, building routines, and practicing new ways to respond to distress. The emphasis is on real-world changes that make daily life easier.

People meet with Susan by phone, video, live chat, or text messaging when that fits their schedule. She accepts clients from outside the U.S. who want to work in English. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step connect potential clients to a first session.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online care

Many therapists use cognitive-behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. These methods break problems into small steps, which can reduce anxiety, improve mood, and help with sleep or eating concerns.

Behavioral activation is another common tool that focuses on adding helpful activities back into a day. That approach can lift mood and create structure after a loss, during depression, or when motivation is low.

Finding the right method is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to choose approaches that match goals, preferences, and daily demands. Together they will try strategies, review what helps, and adjust the plan over time.

Online therapy offers flexibility for people juggling work, parenting, or health needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, homework support, or when someone prefers writing over speaking. These options make it simpler to fit regular care into a busy life.
