How her approaches work online

Dr. Sullivan uses client-centered work to create a space where people feel heard and respected. This approach focuses on the client's goals and uses listening and reflection to help clarify what matters most and what to change next.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, which helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioral experiments. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and patterns that get in the way of daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will talk with clients about goals, preferences, and daily routines, and together they decide which methods to try first. Adjustments are made as progress and needs become clearer.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit a busy schedule. Video calls are useful for a close, face-to-face feel. Phone sessions often work well when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text messaging let clients check in between longer sessions or use shorter, focused exchanges. These options aim to increase flexibility and make it easier to keep therapy consistent.
