Evidence-Based Tools, Delivered Online
Susanna Cheatham draws from established, practical approaches that can translate well to online sessions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, respectful relationship where the client’s perspective guides the work. It can be especially helpful for building clarity, strengthening self-trust, and navigating life transitions at a pace that feels manageable.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence one another. It often involves identifying unhelpful patterns and practicing new skills that can support coping with stress, anxiety, depression, and day-to-day challenges. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds structured tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful when feelings are intense or relationships feel difficult to manage.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Susanna collaborates with clients to understand needs, goals, and preferences, and then tailors the work so it feels relevant and workable over time.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility, with options for video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. This variety can make it easier to stay consistent, fit therapy into a busy schedule, and choose the format that feels most comfortable.
