About Susan
Susan Davis is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oregon with six years of clinical work. She sees adults coping with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, addictions, trauma and abuse, and concerns around self-esteem and sexuality. She also lists life purpose among her focus areas and notes experience supporting veterans and people with mood or personality disorder presentations.
Susan uses a mix of practical approaches in sessions. She often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and Dialectical Behavior Therapy for emotion regulation skills. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Motivational Interviewing also appear in her practice to help people clarify values and strengthen motivation for change.
Sessions tend to be straightforward and focused on what a person wants to work on next. She helps people talk through stressful decisions, break cycles tied to addictive behavior, and develop ways to manage intense feelings. Meetings include skill practice as well as discussion about real-life obstacles and options.
Susan has experience with people from varied cultural backgrounds and with complex mental health concerns, including co-occurring substance use and persistent mood or personality difficulties. That experience informs her work with people who feel stuck after a life change or who want clearer direction about what matters next.
She asks new clients to complete a brief matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session. That helps clarify current concerns and makes the first meeting more focused and efficient.
How Susan integrates therapy approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking small, values-guided steps. It can help when someone feels directionless after a life change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches concrete strategies to change patterns that keep someone stuck. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers practical emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills for intense moods and crises.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client review goals and try methods that match those goals. They adjust the approach as needed, using collaboration to choose skills and practices that fit daily life and priorities.
The profile does not list specific session formats here, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, appointments and caregiving by reducing travel time. They may also allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight or let someone avoid being on camera if they prefer less visual focus. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, skills practice and conversations for an online setting so the work stays practical and goal-oriented.
