How solution-focused work fits with online therapy
Solution-Focused Therapy is about identifying small, concrete steps a person can take toward a better situation.

This approach can be helpful for concerns like relationship troubles, parenting challenges, stress, and coping with life changes.Susan emphasizes practical goal-setting and collaboration. Finding the right approach is part of the work together; she will listen to your goals and suggest ways to test changes that fit your life. The therapist and client decide together what methods to try and adjust them as needed.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Many people appreciate being able to schedule a session around work, caregiving, or other commitments, and online work can support steady progress when in-person visits are difficult to arrange.
