Parents get concrete tools to reduce stress, improve communication, and handle everyday parenting pressures. Susan has worked across settings for more than a decade, helping people cope with life changes and complex concerns like abandonment, adoption and foster care, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, and body image.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice hard thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It helps parents clarify what matters most and take small actions that match those values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches specific skills to reduce worry and change unhelpful patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to relationship patterns that started early in life and helps people understand how those patterns show up now in relationships and parenting.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Susan will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your situation. Together you can test different strategies and keep what helps most, adjusting as needs and priorities change.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow more visual connection and longer sessions. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for quick check-ins, skill reminders, or when written reflection feels useful. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy family schedules and to continue work between sessions.
