Dr Susan Spilman in a licensed psychologist --clinical and holisitc---in Florida who is currently offering online therapy. She finds that people seeking therapy are usually in acute distress and often have repeating patterns in their life that are causing them pain. Her focus is on listening deeply to the client's experiencel and reflecting back to check that I have understood what they are expressing.ooking at the patterns in a person's life, exploring where these came from and then working in the present to help her clients change these patterns that are not working for them.
Dr Spilman's backgroun in Existential psychology, Buddhist philosophy and extensive clinical pracitce plus her own experiences in self-development inform her appraoch to helping clients. Compassionate listening is a center of her approach where the client feels safe and listened to. If she sees patterns in the client's life, she will inquire about the client's past, exlore where these patterns came from and then helping her clients change any patterns that are not working for them.
Dr Spilman has found that the use of various behavioral approaches can help her clients to make the changes they decide are necessary.
Dr Spilman has extensive and varied experience, having worked in many different clinical settings---from state hospitals with very disturbed patients, to community mental health and a long-standing private practice in the United States and Bali, Indonesia where she lived for many years.
