About Susan
Susan Hewitt is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 27 years of experience and holds licensure in Indiana and Kentucky. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people exploring life purpose and challenges tied to identity, including members of the LGBT community.
Her practice emphasizes straightforward conversation and practical steps. Sessions are meant to look at what feels stuck now, identify small changes, and practice new ways of managing thoughts and feelings. Susan draws on therapeutic techniques that connect thinking, body responses, and personal values rather than relying on jargon.
She has worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings and has been integrated into local schools and primary care clinics. That background gives her experience coordinating with other care providers and understanding how life demands affect mental health.
Susan has supported people dealing with grief, emotional dysregulation, religious trauma, and the strain that comes from caregiving roles. She also helps with communication problems, divorce and separation, forgiveness, guilt and shame, panic and social anxiety, and building self-love.
Sessions are conducted in English and are offered from her Indiana practice. The practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time; costs vary by location.

How evidence-based approaches are used online
Susan uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on thinking patterns, body responses, and values-based action. Cognitive approaches help identify and change unhelpful thought patterns that feed anxiety and low mood; these methods teach concrete skills for noticing thoughts and trying different responses. Techniques that attend to body responses help people recognize physical signs of panic or stress and learn breathing or grounding practices to reduce intensity. Approaches that connect values and behavior support work on life purpose by clarifying what matters and trying small steps that align with those values.Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Susan will work with each person to decide which methods seem most useful, adjust the plan as progress is made, and check in about what is or isn’t working. The emphasis is on practical changes and habits that fit into day-to-day life rather than on abstract theory.
Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time between appointments. Many people find that virtual sessions let them continue therapy during work or life transitions while still working directly with a licensed professional.
