Evidence-Informed Therapy, Made Accessible Online

Susan Arvidson draws from approaches that help clients work with difficult emotions, strengthen relationships, and build practical coping skills. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on making room for uncomfortable thoughts and feelings while taking steps toward what matters most, which can be especially helpful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors and replace them with more supportive options, often supporting concerns like depression, self-esteem struggles, and social anxiety. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and healthier communication, which can be useful when feelings feel intense or relationships feel strained.

Therapy does not have to be one-size-fits-all. Susan collaborates with clients to understand what they want to change, what has and has not worked before, and which strategies fit their preferences and goals. Over time, the approach can be adjusted as needs evolve.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. This variety can make it easier to keep therapy consistent, fit sessions into a busy schedule, and get support in the format that feels most comfortable.
