About Susan
She uses straightforward conversation to help people name what they are feeling and why it matters. Sessions often include strategies from cognitive behavioral therapy to notice unhelpful thoughts, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy to manage intense emotions. Attachment-based ideas are used to look at how past relationships affect present reactions.
Susan has guided people through trauma, caregiver stress, and addiction concerns. She also supports individuals facing issues such as abandonment, communication problems, and the challenges that come with serious illness and end-of-life caregiving. Military veterans and first responders are mentioned among those she has worked with in the past.
Her style balances practical tools and personal reflection. Clients can expect direct, empathetic listening and homework that builds everyday coping skills. The goal is to increase resilience and reduce symptoms that interfere with daily life.
Sessions center on each person’s goals and pace. Susan aims to help people move from surviving to a steadier sense of balance through repeated, manageable changes.
How Trauma-Focused and Attachment Work Online
Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people process difficult memories and reduce the ways trauma disrupts daily life. It typically focuses on safer ways to tell the story of what happened, build coping skills, and reduce intense reactions over time.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people notice repeating dynamics, repair ways of relating, and form more reliable connections with others and themselves.
Susan combines these approaches with a client-centered stance, meaning sessions follow the person’s pace and goals. She will work collaboratively to pick methods that fit the issue and the person’s preferences, adjusting approach as progress is made.
Many people find online therapy easier to fit into busy schedules and ongoing care. Online sessions can make it simpler to attend from work breaks, manage short check-ins, or avoid travel time.
