Online support
Approaches that guide online sessions
Existential therapy looks at meaning, choice, and responsibility. It helps people who feel stuck, face big life questions, or want to realign life with what matters to them. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while taking actions that match personal values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Suzanne collaborates with each person to decide what methods fit their goals and preferences. She combines existential questions with skills from ACT and attachment ideas when those tools seem helpful, and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging so therapy can fit into busy lives. Video is useful for deeper conversations and seeing expressions, phone works well when bandwidth is limited or for a focused check-in, and text or chat can support short updates or ongoing encouragement between sessions. These options give practical flexibility for scheduling and for matching the format to the work someone wants to do.
