Therapeutic approaches and online care with Susan Russell

Susan Russell integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy into her practice to address a range of emotional and relational concerns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed by them, and focuses on clarifying values and taking meaningful action - it is often useful for anxiety, stress, and difficulty making changes. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns shape current connections and emotional responses, aiming to improve intimacy, trust, and communication in relationships.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work. Susan collaborates with clients to identify which methods align best with their goals, needs, and preferences, adjusting strategies as progress unfolds and new challenges arise.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility for people with busy schedules or mobility constraints. Sessions can take place by video call or phone, and shorter exchanges can happen via live chat or text-based messaging, allowing ongoing support between appointments. These options make it easier to fit consistent care into daily life while maintaining connection with licensed professionals and therapists who guide the therapeutic process.
