Online support

Attachment-informed and skills-based care online

Suzanne blends attachment-based ideas with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and cognitive-behavioral techniques. Attachment-based work looks at how early and current relationships shape emotions and patterns, helping people understand why they react the way they do. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck and taking action aligned with personal values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that fuel anxiety or depression.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Suzanne will talk with each client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together she and the client decide whether attachment work, ACT, CBT, or a mix fits best and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and shared exercises. Phone sessions can be less bandwidth intensive and easier to fit into a work break. Live chat or text messaging can support quick check-ins or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options help people access care from different locations and on schedules that work for them.
