Background and approach
Her work draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thinking and try new behavior patterns. She also uses mindfulness practices to calm the body and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing methods to address traumatic memories when appropriate. Motivational interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change.
Sessions are intended to feel collaborative. Susan checks in about what is working and what needs to change. She focuses on teaching coping skills people can use between sessions.
Susan brings eight years of clinical experience as an LCSW. She practices in Florida and conducts sessions in English. Her style is warm, practical, and goal-oriented, with attention to safety and pacing that suit each person's needs.
Approaches and online care for trauma and anxiety
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding without judgment, helping people name what they want to change and set personal goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, helps identify patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going, and then tests new ways of thinking and acting to reduce anxiety and low mood. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is used to process traumatic memories so they feel less overwhelming and disruptive.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. Plans are adjusted over time based on progress and feedback so the work stays practical and relevant.
Online therapy offers flexible options like video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions let people use face-to-face conversation when that helps. Phone sessions can fit a quick check-in or work better when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging allow for shorter, more frequent touchpoints and can be easier to fit into a busy day. These formats can make it simpler to keep therapy consistent while balancing other responsibilities.
