About Susan

Background and approach
Sessions aim to uncover patterns and build tools for everyday life. Her style is person-centered and straightforward. She listens first, then helps people try approaches that fit their goals.
She uses a mix of methods so the work matches each person rather than forcing a single technique. Over her career she has helped people through life transitions, workplace pressure, and deep emotional wounds. She guides clients in identifying unhelpful habits and testing new behaviors in small steps.
The focus is on steady progress and self-compassion. Susan emphasizes emotional understanding alongside skills practice. She helps people notice how past attachment experiences shape current reactions.

How Emotion-Focused and Acceptance-Based Work Online
Emotion-focused work helps people notice and name strong feelings, understand what those feelings mean, and try new ways of responding to emotional pain. It can be useful for grief, relationship distress, and trauma-related emotions.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, teaches people to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and problems that come up again and again. Attachment-based approaches look at how early relationship patterns influence current reactions and help people build clearer ways of connecting with others.
Choosing an approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. That means sessions may blend emotional work, ACT exercises, and attachment-focused reflection based on what proves most helpful.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make care flexible. Video is useful for deeper conversation; phone can work when bandwidth is limited or someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat or text messaging can support brief check-ins, skill reminders, or a lighter way to stay engaged between longer sessions. These options let people fit therapy into busy schedules and different daily rhythms.
