Practical Approaches, Flexible Online Support
Susan Banco draws from several evidence-informed approaches to help clients navigate stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, and major life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients can clarify what they want, strengthen self-trust, and move forward at a pace that feels manageable.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured approach that looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. It can be useful for identifying unhelpful patterns, practicing new coping skills, and building day-to-day strategies for challenges like anxiety, low mood, or changes in work and family life. Motivational Interviewing helps clients work through ambivalence, strengthen motivation, and take realistic steps toward goals, including goals related to habits and substance use.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Susan works collaboratively with clients to understand what is bringing them in, what they have already tried, and what they hope will feel different. Together, they can tailor the work to fit the client’s needs, goals, and preferences.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. This range of options can make it easier to fit support into a busy schedule and to stay consistent through life’s changes.
