Therapeutic Tools That Translate Well to Online Care
Susan Henry integrates evidence-informed approaches that can be especially practical in online therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and habits and replacing them with more balanced, workable strategies. It is often used when stress, anxiety, low mood, or self-esteem concerns start to interfere with daily life.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients make room for difficult thoughts and feelings while staying connected to personal values. Rather than battling every emotion, ACT emphasizes building flexibility and taking meaningful steps forward, which can be useful during life transitions, grief, or ongoing stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication, supporting clients who feel overwhelmed or stuck in reactive patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Susan collaborates with clients to clarify goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped before, then adjusts the pace and tools to fit each person’s needs.
Online sessions make care more accessible and flexible, with options for video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. This variety can help clients stay consistent with therapy while balancing work, family, and other responsibilities.
