How Sue’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice their thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and for building motivation around recovery. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors link together and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns, which helps with depression, anxiety, and mood regulation. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention skills and simple practices to steady strong emotions and reduce reactivity during stressful moments.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Sue works collaboratively to figure out which methods fit a person’s goals, needs, and preferences. She adapts tools from these approaches so sessions focus on what will make daily life easier and more manageable.
