How Suzanne uses evidence-based approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then commit to actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, codependency patterns, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and changing behaviors to reduce symptoms. It works well for anxiety, panic, obsessive thinking, and many mood concerns. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience and uses empathy and listening to help people find their own solutions and build confidence.Suzanne treats finding the right approach as a team effort. She will talk with clients about goals and preferences and suggest methods that fit those aims. Together they try techniques and adjust the plan based on what helps most.
Her practice commonly uses live video and phone sessions, and she prefers those formats over live chat for engagement. If you are unsure which session option will suit your schedule or needs, confirm the current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into work, childcare, or busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove the time spent traveling to appointments.
