How Suzanne’s Approach Works Online

Client-centered therapy starts by listening to what matters most to the individual. The therapist follows the client’s lead, focuses on the person’s priorities, and offers support that reflects their goals. This approach helps when someone feels stuck, uncertain, or needs a clearer sense of direction.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood and actions. It uses clear tools and practice exercises to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and to improve coping with stress and relationship problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Suzanne will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. She checks in about progress and adjusts strategies so sessions stay useful and practical.
