Therapy methods and online access

Susan uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts and choose actions that match their values rather than getting stuck in unhelpful thinking. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting thought and behavior patterns and practicing small changes to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.

Choosing the right method is part of the process. She discusses goals and preferences with each person and adjusts approaches as needed. That collaborative process helps decide whether ACT, CBT, or a different combination will best meet the client’s needs.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to keep working on skills between meetings. Licensed professionals can use these options to deliver the same kinds of exercises, coaching, and emotional support used in traditional sessions, while allowing people to connect from home or work.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
