How Suzanne Uses Evidence-Based Methods Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that reflect their values. It can be useful for anxiety, addiction-related urges, and major life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments and behavioral changes to reduce symptoms like depression and anxiety. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at how emotions shape relationships and helps people communicate needs more clearly to improve closeness and reduce conflict.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Suzanne will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped in the past. Together they will try methods and adjust the plan as needed so treatment fits the person's life and priorities.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter or more frequent check-ins when useful. Some methods translate well to remote sessions - for example CBT homework and ACT exercises can be practiced between meetings - and Suzanne will discuss what will work best for practical day-to-day changes.
