Therapeutic approaches you can use online

Susan draws from client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to guide online work. Client-centered therapy means conversations focus on the client's goals and perspective, with the therapist following and reflecting to help people find their own answers. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether to emphasize skills practice, mindfulness exercises, or a supportive, exploratory conversation during sessions.

Online formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging - make therapy flexible and easier to fit into daily life. Video lets people work face to face when visual cues help, while phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging can support quick check-ins, skill practice, and ongoing accountability between longer sessions. These options help people keep momentum and access care around work, caregiving, and other responsibilities.
