About Susan
Susan draws on a mix of therapy styles to match what a client wants. She uses client-centered work to listen and reflect what matters most. She employs Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used for emotion regulation and impulsive behavior.
Over 13 years of clinical work in Texas have shaped her practical, down-to-earth style. That experience includes supporting caregivers and addressing compassion fatigue tied to caregiving roles. She also works with blended family challenges, attachment concerns, and communication problems that make relationships feel strained.
Susan often helps people facing divorce, separation, or the stress of workplace issues. She gives simple tools for mood problems like depression and for managing anger and jealousy. Sessions focus on small, useful steps clients can try between meetings.
People can expect direct listening, clear goals, and a plan that changes as needed. She invites clients to talk about what they hope to get from therapy and decides together on next steps. The emphasis is on practical progress and steady support rather than quick fixes.

How Susan’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to you. It helps when you need someone to hear your story and figure out priorities together. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions and gives short exercises to try between sessions. It is useful for mood issues, worry, and patterns you want to change. Dialectical Behavior Therapy emphasizes skills for managing intense emotions and reducing impulsive reactions, which can help with anger and stress.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then suggest which methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can shift as needs change.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a weekday break or a busy caregiving schedule. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited or offer a way to continue consistent support without travel. Licensed professionals adapt session pacing and homework to fit everyday life and responsibilities.
