How Susy uses therapy approaches online
Susy draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to guide online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then choose actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link and teaches practical ways to change unhelpful patterns.She also uses Attachment-Based ideas to understand how early relationship experiences shape current trust and intimacy. That perspective can help when people struggle with closeness, abandonment fears or emotional reactivity. Together these approaches offer both short-term skills and deeper understanding of recurring patterns.
Finding the right combination is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Decisions about methods are made together and can be adjusted as work progresses.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls let people work face to face from wherever they are, phone sessions can fit into a busy day and use less bandwidth, while chat or messaging can be used for brief check-ins or ongoing support. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into everyday life.
