Online support
How Susan’s Approaches Work Online
Attachment-informed work looks at how early relationships influence current patterns. Online sessions use that lens to notice how people connect, respond to stress, and seek comfort, which can help with intimacy-related issues, abandonment fears, and codependency concerns.Client-centered therapy keeps the focus on the client’s experience and priorities. In virtual sessions this means listening carefully, reflecting what you say, and helping you set goals that feel meaningful and doable for your life right now.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be a collaborative decision. The therapist will discuss goals, try approaches that fit your needs, and make adjustments based on what helps you most. That teamwork guides when to use attachment ideas, cognitive tools, or emotion-focused work.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, giving flexibility for different days and tasks. Video works well for deeper conversation and reading nonverbal cues. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat or text-based messaging can support brief check-ins, skill practice, or moments when typing feels easier than speaking. These options help people keep therapy consistent around busy schedules.
