How Susan’s Approaches Work Online

Susan often uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety or depression. It breaks problems into steps and gives concrete skills to practice between sessions.

She also draws on mindfulness therapy to help people notice thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed. Short exercises can improve focus, ease tension, and help with sleep or anger management.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Susan discusses goals and preferences and then suggests methods to try. That collaborative process makes it easier to adjust techniques as needs change.
