Background and approach
Her work covers a wide range of concerns, from workplace stress and grief to relationship and intimacy-related issues. She also helps people dealing with addiction, sleep and eating problems, and compassion fatigue. Susan draws on approaches like acceptance and commitment work, attachment-focused ideas, and cognitive behavior tools to guide the process.
Therapy with Susan is collaborative. She listens, offers concrete skills, and tailors guidance to each person’s situation. Clients can expect a mix of talking, practical exercises, and strategies to manage emotions and behavior between sessions.
Susan also supports people who want coaching-style help for career or life transitions. She emphasizes building self-understanding and steady coping skills. For anyone feeling overwhelmed or stuck, she aims to make progress feel doable and realistic.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, in Susan's work, focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning; it is practical for mood, anxiety, and sleep or eating concerns.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Susan listens to each person's goals and preferences and then suggests methods to try. She checks in often and adjusts the plan if something isn't helping, so the work stays aligned with what the client needs.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits for people in Minnesota and beyond. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that matters, while phone sessions can work when bandwidth is low or a camera feels like too much. Live chat or text messaging supports brief check-ins, coaching-style support, or quick skill practice between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, keep momentum between meetings, and use approaches like ACT and CBT in everyday life.
