Online support
Emotion and Attachment Work Online
Susan uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people connect with their feelings and understand how emotions shape relationships and behavior. EFT sessions often look at patterns that keep people stuck and guide them to express emotions in clearer, safer ways.She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early bonds affect current reactions and relationship habits. This approach helps people recognize attachment wounds like abandonment or fear of closeness and try new ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy is part of her style too, which means sessions are paced by the client and focused on understanding rather than directing change.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review your goals, symptoms, and preferences and discuss which methods might help most. That decision is collaborative and may change as therapy progresses.
Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care flexible. Video lets you use body language and tone. Phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text are useful for short check-ins, journaling between sessions, or working through immediate tasks. These options help fit therapy into busy lives and different schedules.
