About Susana
Susana uses practical talking therapies to help people sort through what feels overwhelming. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Client-Centred Therapy, Mindfulness and Narrative Therapy. Sessions aim to identify unhelpful patterns and try different ways of responding to them.
Her way of working is straightforward and respectful. Conversations explore what matters to the person, what gets in the way, and small steps that can be tried between sessions. She pays attention to cultural factors and to family-of-origin issues when they are relevant.
People often come with questions about parenting, blended families, divorce, or the fallout from infidelity and domestic violence. Susana also supports those dealing with caregiver stress, first responder pressures, body image concerns, guilt and shame, and forgiveness work.
Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. She practices with a focus on equality and inclusion, and continues professional development to keep her approach current. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How her approaches translate to online work
Susana commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) in sessions. ACT focuses on values and committed action, helping people notice what matters and take small steps even when feelings are difficult. CBT looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and tests practical ways to change unhelpful patterns.She also draws on client-centred ideas, which emphasise listening and the person's own priorities. Deciding which mix of approaches to use is collaborative. The therapist and client review goals and try different techniques to see what fits best for the person's life and concerns.
Check the session formats before booking so you know how sessions are delivered. If you need to fit therapy around work, study or parenting, online sessions can make scheduling easier and reduce travel. Some people prefer shorter check-ins or audio-only meetings to keep sessions manageable. Confirm the available session types when you book so arrangements suit your routine.
