How evidence-based methods translate to remote sessions
Suzette uses practical, evidence-based techniques to address stress, anxiety, depression, and responses to trauma. One common technique helps people learn short-term coping skills for managing anxiety and overwhelming feelings. These are step-by-step strategies to reduce symptoms in the moment and during daily life. Another approach focuses on understanding how past events affect current reactions and relationships. This helps people notice patterns and practice different responses that reduce distress.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Suzette will work with each person to identify goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust the plan over time based on what helps. Clients play an active role in deciding which techniques to use and in tracking progress.
