About Susan
She uses a straightforward, collaborative style. Sessions focus on what matters now - improving communication, managing strong emotions, and reducing overwhelm. Susan draws on client-centered therapy and practical tools from cognitive behavioral and solution-focused approaches to make therapy useful and goal-oriented.
Susan has long worked with people dealing with trauma, addiction, grief, and family-of-origin issues. She also supports those facing infertility stress, separation, and forgiveness work. Her background includes helping people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and build concrete coping skills.
In sessions she combines listening with action. That might mean trying a new way to talk about a problem, practicing a short mindfulness exercise, or setting small behavior goals between meetings. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes.
Her credential is SC LISW-CP, which stands for Licensed Independent Social Worker with Clinical Practice in South Carolina. Susan uses that experience to guide practical plans tailored to each person’s life and responsibilities.

How Susan’s Approaches Work Online
Susan uses client-centered therapy to create a listening, non-judgmental space where the person sets the agenda and the therapist offers support. This approach helps when someone needs understanding, clearer priorities, and time to name what matters most.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress that shows up at work or home.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Susan will talk through goals and preferences, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps. She frames this as teamwork so clients feel involved in choosing methods that fit their lives.
