How her approaches work in remote sessions
Many of Susan's sessions draw on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on concrete change. One common approach addresses trauma-related symptoms by helping people identify triggers, safety strategies, and gradual ways to process difficult memories. This work is useful for post-traumatic stress and ongoing effects of abuse.Another frequent focus is on attachment and relational patterns. These methods look at how early relationships shape current reactions and communication, and they teach alternatives that improve day-to-day interactions and reduce conflict.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Susan will discuss what feels most helpful and adjust methods as goals change. The first sessions typically involve assessing immediate needs, then agreeing on practical targets and ways to measure progress.
Confirm the session formats before booking to know what is offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when days are tight. Therapists who work remotely also adapt techniques for the screen, using focused exercises, communication skills practice, and step-by-step planning that translate to everyday routines.
