How her approaches guide online therapy
Susan combines Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to shape online sessions that focus on the person’s needs. Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and understanding the client’s experience, while CBT looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and tests practical changes. Mindfulness practices teach simple attention and breathing strategies to lower intense emotions and improve focus.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods feel most useful. Goals, preferences, and day-to-day routines help determine what is tried first and how it is adjusted over time.
Confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to keep regular check-ins. It can also allow for shorter follow-ups, easier access from different locations in Florida, and flexibility when work or family demands change.
