Susan has been wonderful to work with. She has really helped me to build my self esteem, navigate challenges in relationships/work and feeling less anxious in general. I appreciate how she teaches me to challenge my thoughts and thus, control my anxiety. I strongly recommend her as she’s an amazing therapist.

More about Susan

  • 25 years' experience
  • Female
  • LMHC, LCMHC

I am a licensed mental health therapist in the state of Florida with over twenty-five years of counseling experience working with individuals, couples and family systems in a therapeutic capacity to promote constructive solutions that lead clients to live more positive and productive lives. I have worked with clients to address a variety of issues, to include depression, anxiety, ADHD, low self-esteem and family conflict.

As a therapist, I strive to provide my clients with a consistent level of compassion and support, ensuring to respect clients' diversity and life experiences. I utilize a whole-person approach, implementing cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to assist clients in reaching their identified goals.

I firmly believe that in life we always have some form of control, including the ability to change the things that are not working for us. If you are ready for change, I would love to join you on your journey!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

I truly feel that talking with Susan just over the past 2 sessions have really helped me reframe the challenges that I'm going through. Susan is a very attentive listener and makes an effort to understand how cultural norms influence my beliefs and behaviors. She sent me useful worksheets and chapters in self esteem to help me work on adjusting my negative core beliefs. She's incredible!
