Background and approach

She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside cognitive and solution-focused techniques when helpful. Sessions often focus on identifying patterns, calming intense feelings, and trying out new ways of coping. Sue works with a wide range of concerns including relationship strain, parenting challenges, identity and LGBT matters, caregiver stress, and issues tied to adoption or blended families.
She also addresses sleep and eating problems, anger, panic, and symptoms related to past abuse or discrimination. Sue describes therapy as a partnership. She helps people set clear goals, track progress, and adjust methods as needed.

Online support
How Sue blends approaches for online care
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name strong emotions and how those feelings affect relationships and choices. EFT is useful when emotions feel overwhelming or when patterns of connection and disconnection keep repeating.Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience. The therapist listens deeply, follows the client’s lead, and helps people discover their own answers. This approach supports people who want a respectful, nonjudgmental space to make sense of things.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers clear strategies for reducing anxiety, improving sleep, and changing unhelpful behavior through short exercises and practice between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. Decisions about which techniques to use are made together and adjusted as progress is seen.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people read facial cues and speak in real time. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging are useful for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep consistent contact with a licensed professional.
