More about Susan

Welcome to BetterHelp! Glad you found your way here and are reaching out! Every therapist is different and unique - just like you - so I hope this introduction gives you a better feel for who I am and what I try to offer. I have worked all over the USA in different settings - mostly just helping out. I have lived mostly in Ohio & Florida - but did internships in Roanoke, VA, Souix Falls, South Dakota, & Mobile/Tuscaloosa, AL. I do tend to focus on the positive, self-care, and solutions - actual tips and techniques to apply - than just talking alone. I do believe the way we talk to ourselves matters - so I do try to point out negative thoughts. This is the basis of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (which has proven to be very effective!). I have worked with all walks of life and am very non-judgmental and open-minded. I do try to use an eclectic / comprehensive approach - using whatever I can that will work best for you. The techniques are all Evidence-Based Therapies - the founders that I would say I pull the most from are Rogers, Maslow, Beck, Burns, Gottman, Shiparo, Linehan, and Kubler-Ross. The methods of these Psychologists are Unconditional Positive Regard, CBT, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy. If any of this sounds what you are looking for - Hope to be of comfort for your journey and to be service!

About online counseling

Affordable.: Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.: Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.: There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
