Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values to move forward. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and navigating major life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers concrete exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it often helps with panic, worry, sleep, and mood concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Susan will listen to goals and struggles and then recommend methods that fit the person’s needs. She uses a collaborative process so clients can try approaches and adjust what isn’t working.
