Approaches that translate to online care
Susanne frequently uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thought patterns and try small behavior changes. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life transitions. EMDR is another approach she includes for processing traumatic memories and reducing the emotional intensity linked to those memories. It is often used when past events continue to cause distress.Choosing a therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Susanne discusses options, listens to goals, and adjusts methods over time. She helps people decide which tools to try first and checks in to see what’s working or needs change.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is helpful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone calls work when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers a quicker check-in, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make scheduling easier and let people fit therapy into busy lives while using approaches like CBT and EMDR effectively in remote care.
