Therapeutic approaches for online care and connection

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, encourages acceptance of difficult thoughts and emotions while helping clients clarify their values and take actions that lead to a more meaningful life. It is often helpful for chronic anxiety, stress, and life transitions.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in relationships and early bonding to help people understand how those patterns shape current connections and emotional responses. This approach can be useful for relationship challenges, attachment concerns, and healing from relational trauma.

Suzy collaborates with each person to determine which approaches fit best for their goals, preferences, and life circumstances. Determining the right mix of techniques is a shared process, and adjustments are made as progress and needs evolve.

Online therapy with Suzy uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, continue care during life changes, and maintain regular contact with a licensed professional when in-person visits are not practical.
