About Susan

Background and approach

With 16 years of experience, she also addresses caregiving stress, codependency, communication and control issues, and difficulties tied to family of origin and fertility concerns. Her work combines a client-centered stance with practical interventions drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness practices, and solution-focused techniques.

Sessions emphasize collaboration, helping clients identify patterns, build coping skills, and make concrete changes aligned with their goals. Susan aims to empower people to improve communication, navigate life transitions, and restore balance after loss or upheaval.

People who work with her can expect an empathic, nonjudgmental environment where treatment is tailored to individual needs. She integrates evidence-informed strategies while remaining flexible to each person’s pace and priorities, supporting sustained change through skill-building and reflective exploration.

Approach and Access: Online Therapy with Evidence-Informed Care

CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It offers practical tools to manage anxiety, mood changes, problematic coping like substance use, and to improve sleep and daily functioning. Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes the individual’s own goals and experience, creating space for people to explore feelings and make decisions at their own pace while feeling heard and respected.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to assess needs, preferences, and goals, then blend techniques from different approaches to create a tailored plan. That partnership aims to match interventions to what a person wants to accomplish, adjusting methods as progress is made.

Online therapy can increase flexibility by offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which helps accommodate work schedules, caregiving responsibilities, and geographic constraints. These options make it easier to maintain consistency in care and to use practical tools between sessions, supporting ongoing skill development and progress.
